Coatings

PTFE coatings

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coatings are dispersion-based. They are better known by the trade names Teflon® and Xylan®.

PTFE is available in several coating options for many industrial applications with different properties. The PTFE coating provides a dirt-repellent and easy-to-clean surface. Thin PTFE coatings also provide good corrosion protection. The friction properties of PTFE coatings are very low compared to, e.g. steel or rubber materials.

Applications:
  • Different molds
  • Impellers, rotors and covers
  • Rollers, glue and paint basins, containers and mixers
  • Sealing plates and packaging machines’ blades
  • Baking trays, funnels, guides and other parts for bakery machines and the food industry
Material requirements:

PTFE is well suited for surface treatment of various metal grades, as well as rubber and composite materials. When choosing the base material, it is good to take into account the heat treatments required by the coating process. For more information contact us directly.
