Bringing Group technologies into the circular economy
European institutions have identified liquid nitrocarburization as an alternative to hard chrome-plating that offers distinct advantages.
It is an industrial process recognized and mastered, represented globally by HEF’s CLIN™ technologies.
CLIN™ technologies offer a combination of advantages:
- Improved fatigue strength
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Increased durability and significant wear resistance
- No chipping and improved sensitivity to impacts
The HEF Group has developed and patented its ECO-CLIN™ process. This innovation makes it possible to recycle waste of nitrocarburization facilities and to transform this waste into new consumables for direct reuse. Thus, this recycling enables integration of CLIN™ technologies within a circular consumption model.
By limiting the impact on natural resources, this novel technology offers a sustainable alternative, thus contributing to preservation of the ecosystem.
Moreover, by securing the procurement of primary materials, the HEF Group reinforces the stability of its production processes, thereby assuring a continuity of operational viability.
Use of liquid nitrocarburization enables HEF to maintain rigorous compliance with the standards and regulations in force.
Consequently, HEF harmonizes industrial performance, environmental responsibility, and compliance with standards, and at the same time demonstrates its commitment to a sustainable future.
