Teflon™ Coatings for Industrial Applications
Teflon™ coatings spray on like paint and bake to a tough and inert finish. They ensure a unique balance of technical properties to meet most performance needs, such as non-stick properties, temperature and chemical resistance and durability. To date, the Teflon product performances are unbeatable for many industrial as well as commercial applications such as cookware. Thanks to a variety of types, the unique properties of Teflon™ coatings can become an integral surface component on any kind of part — from clutches that engage easier and valves that resist wear, to coil springs that become silent. With proper equipment, Teflon™ industrial coatings can even be applied to specific areas of complex geometric parts, such as the internal threads of a nut. The Teflon range comprises PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer), PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), ETFE (copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene) as well as one-coats. The Tetrachim team is here to guide you towards the best Teflon solution for your application.

Teflon™ industrial coatings can be applied on :
Teflon™ industrial coatings are renowned for their non-stick properties particularly for bakeware, chemical resistance, durability, and temperature stability, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. These solutions can be applied to various substrates, ensuring enhanced performance and longevity in demanding environments. Here are some of the key materials that can be coated with Teflon™:
1. Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is widely used in industrial applications due to its strength and affordability, but it is prone to corrosion. Applying a Teflon™ solution provides :
- Corrosion protection – Shields against oxidation and chemical attack.
- Non-stick properties – Reduces material buildup and eases cleaning.
- Durability – Extends the lifespan of components in high-friction environments.
2. Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance and durability. Adding a Teflon™ top-coat further enhances:
- Cleanability – Limits residue adhesion in food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Chemical resistance – Enhances protection against aggressive substances.
- Low friction – Ideal for moving parts and sliding mechanisms.
3. Aluminum
Aluminum is a lightweight material commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. Teflon™ products provide:
- Heat and wear resistance – Protects aluminum surfaces in high-temperature environments.
- Reduced friction – Improves efficiency in mechanical applications.
- Non-stick properties – Essential for preventing material buildup.
5. Glass
While glass is naturally smooth and resistant to chemicals, adding Teflon™ can further improve:
- Hydrophobic properties – Prevents water and contaminants from sticking.
- Non-stick performance – Ensures easy cleaning in laboratory and industrial settings.
- Chemical resistance – Protects against harsh acids and solvents.
4. Steel Alloys
Steel alloys, such as tool steel and high-strength steel, require extra protection against wear, corrosion, and friction. Teflon™ helps by:
- Increasing durability – Enhances resistance to wear and tear.
- Reducing maintenance costs – Prevents corrosion and degradation over time.
- Enhancing lubricity – Reduces friction for improved performance in machinery.
