Slik Shot™, a high-end finish offered exclusively by Nutmeg Chrome, wears better and lasts longer than standard Nickel Teflon® coatings. Click here to order a sample.

Nutmeg's Slik Shot process is an electroless plated coating of a nickel phosphorus alloy, with Teflon® particles evenly dispersed throughout the coating offering optimum performance. With Teflon® particles included as an integral part of the plating deposit, corrosion resistance and wearability are greatly enhanced.

In addition, this combination of nickel and Teflon® polymers offers an extremely low coefficient of friction, that makes it an attractive choice for applications which require superior mold release. This process is especially well-suited for use with molding applications that utilize plastics, epoxies, and silicones, where it enhances mold release characteristics, eliminating the need for release sprays.
