Teflon® & Non-Stick Coatings

Teflon non-stick industrial coatings are available in both liquid and powder. The versatility of Teflon® coatings allow almost unlimited application to a wide variety of parts sizes and configurations, always adding value far beyond the inherent nonstick qualities. Versatility unmatched by any other engineered material. Industrial Teflon® coatings spray on like paint and bake to a tough, inert finish. Over the years, technology has extended the family of non-stick coatings to ensure a finish with the ideal combination of properties to meet most design needs. In 2015 the United States accounted for 15.5% of the world consumption of PTFE coatings. From 2015 to 2020, US consumption of PTFE coatings is expected to grow at 2.0% per year.

By combining heat resistance with almost total chemical inertness, excellent dielectric stability and a low coefficient of friction, non-stick industrial coatings offer a balance of properties unbeatable by any other material. With an industrial Teflon® coating, the coefficient of friction is generally lowered to a range of 0.02 to 0.15, depending on the load, sliding speed, and type of coating used. Dry lubricant coatings are special versions of Dupont Teflon®-S technology designed to provide lubrication under high-pressure/velocity (PV) conditions. These products are solvent-based, one-coat systems that are usually cured between 148°C/300°F and 371°C/700°F.

Teflon® coating services can be applied to carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, steel alloys, brass and magnesium as well as non-metallics such as glass, fiberglass, some rubber and plastics. Optimum adhesion is obtained by roughening the surface before applying the industrial coating.
