For Sampling, Transfer, and Analysis of


Sulfur Compounds to less than 20ppb
Restek is proud to offer Sulfinert coatingsthe next generation of metal passivation coatings for low-level sulfur storage and transfer. Restek has been a pioneer in
the development and the application of passive coatings since 1987, beginning with
the introduction of our Silcosteel treatment. Recently, new sulfur regulations and
low detection limits have created a demand for an even more inert surface, so we
created Sulfinert coatings.

Features & Benefits

Always use Sulfinert-coated components


when peak performance is required for
your sulfur analyses.

What is Sulfinert Treatment?

The Sulfinert coating is the leading


passivation technique for the storage and
transfer of low-level, organo-sulfurcontaining samples.
The Sulfinert coating is ideal for use in
environmental, petrochemical, polymeric,
high- and low-pressure environments.
The Sulfinert layer is stable in a wide
variety of pH ranges. Unlike fused silica
coatings which can dissolve in a caustic
environment, the Sulfinert coating is
stable when sampling caustic amines as
well as acidic sulfur compounds.

Feature

Sample amines and sulfur compounds


without compromising compound stability.

Thermally stable

Usable to 600C.

Non-polymeric

No memory effects as seen with


Teflon-coated parts.

Readily available

Treated tubing and fittings are in stock for


immediate delivery.

Commonly Asked Questions


How is Sulfinert coating different from Silcosteel coating?
Sulfinert coating has been proven to hold organo-sulfur compounds at lower concentrations than Silcosteel coating under static sampling conditions. Sulfinert
coating was developed specifically to sample or transfer organo-sulfur compounds
at concentrations to less than 20ppb.
Why does Sulfinert coating work so well for sulfur compounds?
The Sulfinert layer is applied to the stainless steel surface and is completely inert to
organo-sulfur compounds. Typically stainless steel will adsorb or react with sulfur
compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. The Sulfinert layer will prevent sulfur compounds from contacting the reactive stainless surface.
Why use Sulfinert coatings instead of fused silica linings?
The Sulfinert coating can be used in a wide variety of pH ranges. Fused silica linings
will become active when amines or other basic compounds are sampled because of a
chemical reaction with the Si-O bond.
