PTFE COATINGS
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) powder coating is a dry, fluoropolymer-based coating applied as a fine powder to surfaces, then heated to form a durable, non-stick film. Known for its low friction, chemical resistance, and high-temperature tolerance (up to 260°C/500°F), PTFE provides excellent corrosion protection and a slick surface.
Key Properties:
-
Non-stick: Prevents adhesion of materials like food, chemicals, or adhesives.
-
Chemical resistance: Withstands acids, solvents, and other corrosive substances.
-
Low friction: Ideal for reducing wear in moving parts.
-
Heat resistance: Maintains performance in high-temperature environments.
-
Electrical insulation: Useful in electronic applications.
Uses:
-
Cookware: Non-stick coatings for pots, pans, and baking trays.
-
Industrial equipment: Protects machinery components from corrosion and wear.
-
Automotive: Applied to parts like bearings, gears, and fuel system components for reduced friction.
-
Medical devices: Coats surgical tools and implants for biocompatibility and ease of cleaning.
-
Aerospace: Used on components exposed to extreme conditions.
-
Electronics: Insulates wiring and components.
