ARCOR VHP Range: High Corrosion Resistance
One of HEF’s major advancements in surface treatment is the development of the ARCOR VHP range. This innovative process achieves exceptional levels of corrosion resistance, with tests demonstrating resistance exceeding 1,000 hours in salt spray conditions.
This ability to withstand extreme environments is critical for industrial applications in harsh conditions (such as construction vehicles). Materials treated with ARCOR VHP not only offer enhanced protection against rust and wear, but also increased durability, ensuring optimal long-term performance.
Salt Bath Chemistry: Innovative Treatment for a Wide Range of Steels
HEF has also expanded its expertise in salt bath chemistry, a key area in the heat treatment of metals. With advanced control of this process, we are able to treat a wide variety of steels, including those requiring more specific treatment conditions—such as stainless steels, cast irons, and nickel-based alloys (Inconel). One of the major strengths of our technology lies in its ability to apply these treatments at low temperatures, helping to preserve material quality while optimizing energy costs.
This approach not only enables the treatment of diverse materials, but also opens new opportunities for industries that require complex and precise metallurgical processes (e.g., mobility and defense sectors).
ECO-CLIN™: Innovating Through Waste Recycling
HEF is pushing innovation even further with its ECO-CLIN™ process— a groundbreaking initiative aimed at recycling waste generated from our treatment lines. In a context where environmental concerns are central to industrial priorities, we have developed an innovative process that enables the recovery and recycling of both liquid and solid industrial waste.
Thanks to ECO-CLIN™, we are able to transform what was once considered waste into a resource that can be directly reused in our CLIN™ treatment lines, contributing to a more circular and sustainable economic model. This approach not only reduces dependency on raw material supply fluctuations but also lowers our environmental footprint—helping us meet our clients’ growing expectations for environmental responsibility.
A Promising Future Through Innovation
At HEF, we firmly believe that innovation is the key to meeting the challenges of tomorrow. Our ongoing efforts to develop new processes—such as the ARCOR VHP range, salt bath chemistry, and waste recycling with ECO-CLIN™—enable us to stay at the forefront of the industry while fully committing to a more sustainable future.
Through these innovations, we continue to provide our customers with high-performance solutions that meet today’s environmental and economic demands.
