Dura-Kote™ Plating

Corrosion resistance is a necessity on nearly every application of hydraulic fluid conveyance products—unplated carbon steel fluid conveyance products can begin rusting within hours of exposure to the elements. Now Eaton, a world leader and innovator in power management and hydraulic systems, has raised the bar on corrosion resistance. Introducing Dura-Kote™ plating technology, delivering significantly higher level of corrosion resistance on carbon steel fluid conveyance products. Testing in accordance to ASTM B117 salt spray requirements reveals Eaton fluid conveyance components with Dura-Kote plating technology were rated up to 1,000 hours of corrosion resistance far exceeding SAEJ514 requirements. No other standard carbon steel fluid conveyance products can top the performance of Eaton fluid conveyance products with Dura-Kote plating technology.
  • Testing in accordance to ASTM B117 salt spray requirements,  Eaton fluid conveyance components with Dura-Kote plating technology were rated up to 1,000 hours of corrosion resistance, far exceeding SAEJ514 requirements.

  • Dura-Kote plating technology now comes standard on most carbon steel fluid conveyance products, so you get products that look better, last longer, cost less to maintain.

  • No compatibility issues when using existing carbon steel parts with former plating and parts with the improved Dura-Kote plating. The Eaton carbon steel fluid conveyance products you rely on today will look, feel and perform exactly the same as previous products.

    • Same form and functional capabilities
    • Same torque values and pressure ratings
    • Same silver appearance
    • Same procedures for assembly

Two kinds of rust threaten the integrity of your carbon steel fluid conveyance products: White rust, which is oxidation of the outer zinc layer. And red rust, which is oxidation of the steel itself.

As you can see in the photos above, carbon steel fluid conveyance products protected with Eaton's Dura-Kote plating technology resist rust longer than other carbon steel products available today.
