Are You Familiar with PTFE Coatings – Better Known as Teflon™?

Almost everyone has heard of Teflon™ Coatings  (PTFE) but are you familiar with the different types of Teflon™ and  their uses?

Benefits and uses:

• Nonporous films from .0005 – .05
• Low coefficient of friction
• Corrosion resistance
• Dry film lubrication
• Provides great durability
• Can withstand extreme high and low temperatures
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Nonstick

Here are three common types of Teflon™ Coatings:

• FEP coatings – provides nonporous film, good nonstick characteristics and excellent chemical resistance.
• PFA coatings – offer high continuous use temperatures, toughness, and film thicknesses of up to 1,000 micrometers
• ETFE coatings -great chemical resistance and are the toughest of the fluoropolymer coatings

I’ve included only a brief summary of these coatings…so please visit our blog for complete information. https://www.crestcoating.com/ptfe-coatings/. (There are also additional facts and interesting history about Teflon™ Coatings there too.)

We would be happy to answer any questions you may have and assist you in the coating selection of your current or next project.  Email: lpj-associates@cox.net
