Constant Protection with NXD BASIC® and NXD tupH®

NORD's NXD surface treatment was specifically developed for aluminum. Featuring a galvanically produced base layer, it makes aluminum surfaces highly resistant to corrosion. This treatment increases the durability of aluminum components in demanding environments and offers two variants to provide optimal protection of your drive solution.

NXD BASIC®

NXD BASIC® provides additional protection for standard varnishes when the existing varnish alone isn't enough.

How It Works:

The process begins with the aluminum housing being fully coated with a galvanically produced base layer. Once complete, the treated components are mounted and coated with a highly adhesive varnish for added durability.

Advantages:

Protection against scratches, even when the varnish is damaged
Corrosion-resistant to the highest C5 class
Color options and be customized to customer specifications

Common Applications:

Water treatment
Car wash facilities
Shipping
Offshore installations

Benefits:

Long-lasting, durable drive solutions
Reliable operation in tough environments
A secure, trusted choice
Over 20 million standard configuration options available

NXD tupH®

NXD tupH® offers surface protection designed for extreme conditions, particularly in wash-down applications.

How It Works:

The process begins with the aluminum housing being fully coated with a galvanically produced base layer. A thin, high-performance sealer is then applied for additional protection.

Advantages:

Resistant to acids and alkalis
No blistering, flaking or microcracks
Non-porous surface
Corrosion-resistant according to the highest C5 class
Food-safe according to FDA and EU Regulation 1935/2004

Common Applications:

Food & Beverage
Dairies
Fish & Seafood
Pharmaceuticals

Benefits:

High level of hygiene
Quick and easy cleaning
Cost-effective
Durable drive solutions
Reliable operation
Investment security
Wide range of NORD modular products available

"NXD’s previous generation, NSD, has already impressively demonstrated its resistance as an effective protection for aluminum surfaces in practice. Drives that previously had to be replaced regularly, serve well for years now, thanks to this technology. We are permanently focused on our customers’ industries and are continuously developing the protection systems. Surfaces treated with NXD tupH® are thus free from chromates and PFAS. This increases the investment security for our users."
