INDEPENDENT TESTING
|
|
Metalife’s tradition of high quality is backed up by independent
testing and the results of those tests. We hope these results prove
informative and helpful in your decision to try a Metalife coating.
Please contact us if you would like a copy of the actual report for
the results described below. |

Procedure for RoHS Compliance Test:
Hexavalent chromium was analyzed via boiling water leach
procedure outlined in Delphi DX900359. Cadmium and lead were
determined via flame atomic absorption. Mercury was determined via
cold vapor atomic absorption. Coating weight was determined via
weigh-strip-weigh using antimony trioxide inhibited hydrochloric
acid. |

Conclusion
“The overall results for the Metalife coated samples show a
considerable increase in PV limit when compared to previous
tests run on uncoated samples. Similar comparisons to uncoated
wear tests indicate that the wear rate was reduced significantly
when coated with the Metalife system.”
