Teflon™ industrial coatings
Teflon™ industrial coatings are fluoroproducts, available in both powder and liquid forms. The range is made of PTFE, PFA, FEP & ETFE polymers.
The versatility of Teflon™ Industrial coatings, unmatched by any other material, allows almost unlimited application for a multitude of industries meeting most design needs. Their unique balance of properties includes heat resistance, almost total chemical inertness, non-stick, excellent dielectric stability and low coefficient of friction.
Teflon™ industrial coatings offer a versatility unmatched by any other material and enhance the functional qualities of high-tech applications.
The versatility of these coatings allow almost unlimited application to a wide variety of part sizes and configurations—always adding value to your parts and providing:
- Non-stick & Low Coefficient of friction: One of the most celebrated qualities of Teflon™ coatings is their non-stick property. This characteristic is not just about convenience; it’s about performance enhancement and longevity, ensuring that materials and substances do not adhere to surfaces, which is crucial in a wide range of industrial processes. Coupled with this is the low coefficient of friction these coatings possess. This feature minimizes resistance between surfaces, facilitating smoother operation of machinery and equipment, which can lead to significant energy savings and reduced wear and tear.
- Heat resistance at temperatures up to 260 °C : Moreover, Teflon™ coatings are renowned for their heat resistance, withstanding temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). This makes them indispensable in applications requiring durability under extreme heat conditions, without compromising their integrity or performance.
- Chemical resistance : The chemical resistance offered by these coatings further elevates their appeal, as they can withstand harsh chemicals without degrading, making them ideal for use in chemical processing industries, pharmaceuticals, and beyond.
- Non-wetting: The non-wetting nature of Teflon™ coatings is another attribute that cannot be overstated. This quality ensures that liquids form beads and roll off the coated surface, which is particularly beneficial in applications where moisture or liquid retention is a concern. It helps in maintaining cleanliness, efficiency, and in certain cases, safety.
- Unique electrical properties: The electrical properties of Teflon™ coatings make them an excellent choice for insulation in electrical and electronic applications. Their ability to resist electrical charges and dissipate static makes them invaluable in protecting sensitive components and ensuring the reliability of electrical systems.
- Abrasion resistance: Abrasion resistance further sets Teflon™ coatings apart, providing a durable surface that can withstand physical wear and tear, extending the life of the parts. This is particularly important in applications where components are subject to repeated friction or contact with other materials.
- Food contact compliance: In today’s world, where health and safety regulations are more stringent than ever, the food contact compliance of Teflon™ coatings is a critical advantage. This compliance ensures that they can be safely used in food processing and handling applications, adding a layer of trust and reliability to products that come into contact with consumables.
