Teflon ® PTFE
resin fluropolymer was discovered in 1938 by DuPont chemist Roy Plunkett. Since
then, DuPont has developed a wide range of industrial coatings that carry the
brand name Teflon ®. DuPont Teflon ® industrial coatings have received the
approval of a wide range of applications. Many of Teflon ® coatings are
FDA-compliant and can be used in food contact applications.
DuPont Teflon ®
industrial coatings can be used for aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel,
alloy steel, brass, magnesium and other metals, as well as non-metallic colors,
such as glass, fiberglass, rubber and some plastics. Heat treatment is then
required to take care of coated product.
Plas-Tech is a
long list of industries. The reason we serve many industries are due to
different characteristics of Teflon ® and other fluoropolymer coatings we
apply. Did you know that besides having the lowest coefficient of friction of
the solid material known to man that Teflon ® is non-wetting, it has a high
dielectric strength, chemical resistance, almost universal, and in many cases
heat resistance to 500 ° F.
Very few
substances is permanently attached to a Teflon ® surface. While sticky
materials may show some temporary membership, almost all substances release
easily.
Teflon ®
coating on the belt of food prevents the accumulation of food debris and allows
easy cleaning.
The combination
of extreme low temperature stability and extremely high (-450 ° C to + 550 ° F)
advocates the use of Teflon ® in a wider temperature range than any other
organic coating material.
Teflon ® coated
extrusion dies extrusion rates that allow more and better surface finish is an
example of an application at high temperatures where other coatings can not be
used.
Friction of
Teflon ® is the range of 0.03 to 0.15, depending on load, sliding speed and
special Teflon ® finish used.
Threaded that
plugs must be removed and back in position often lubricated with Teflon ® to
prevent and to allow re-sealing.
Teflon ® is
unaffected by most chemical environments. The only chemicals known to affect
Teflon ® finish is certain alkaline and more reactive fluorinating agents.
Metal seals are
coated with Teflon ® shows improved sealing properties due to the malleability
of Teflon ®.
New Teflon ®
compounds have been developed that can be used for the elastomeric
"O" rings and seals.
