Surface Treatments
How can I receive pricing for custom surface treatment?
For all items that are sent in by the customer to be treated, Restek recommends that the customer deal directly with Silcotek™. Visit
www.silcotek.com or call them at 814-353-1778.
On January 1, 2009, the Restek Performance Coatings Division became SilcoTek Corporation, an independent company led by Restek Founder Paul Silvis and members of the Performance Coatings team. The new company will focus on developing new coating technologies for the passivation, anticoking, automotive, and ultrahigh vacuum markets.
The creation of independent SilcoTek Corporation was part of Restek Corporation’s January 1 transition to 100 percent employee ownership under an ESOP structure. That move, which had been a part of the company’s corporate planning since its inception in 1985 and is being implemented under the leadership of Restek Head Coach Don McCandless, was designed to ensure Restek’s stability and continued growth while maintaining its status as an independent chromatography consumables manufacturer.
SilcoTek™ will remain a key supplier to Restek, and Restek in turn will continue to offer Siltek®, Sulfinert®, and Silcosteel® coated products for chromatography markets.
