Product Information

Dry lubricant coatings are special versions of Teflon® technology designed to provide lubrication under high-pressure/velocity (PV) conditions. These products are solvent-based, one-coat systems that are usually cured between 260°C/500°F and 371°C/700°F.

The CoF of Teflon® coatings is generally in the range of 0.05 to 0.20, depending on the load, sliding speed, and the particular Teflon® coating used. PTFE is a thermoplastic polymer, which is a white solid at room temperature, with a density of about 2200kg/m 3 and a melting point of 600K (327°C; 620°F). [20] It maintains high strength, toughness and self-lubrication at low temperatures down to 5K (−268.15°C; −450.67°F), and good flexibility at temperatures above 194K (−79°C; −110°F). [21] PTFE gains its properties from the aggregate effect of carbon-fluorine bonds, as do all fluorocarbons. The only chemicals known to affect these carbon-fluorine bonds are highly reactive metals like the alkali metals, and at higher temperatures also such metals as aluminium and magnesium, and fluorinating agents such as xenon difluoride and cobalt(III) fluoride. [22] At temperatures above 650–700°C (1,200–1,290°F) PTFE undergoes depolymerization. [23] Property Davet, George P. "Using Belleville Springs To Maintain Bolt Preload" (PDF). Solon Mfg. Co.

In some cases we may utilise the coating facilities of our sister companies - for example, if you require very high volumes of fasteners to be coated, we would liaise with one of our European facilities who specialise in this field. Teflon-coated bullets are coated with PTFE to reduce wear on the rifling of firearms that uncoated projectiles would cause. PTFE itself does not give a projectile an armor-piercing property. [53]

Superior Fluoropolymer Coatings for a Broad Range of Applications

Best adhesion is obtained by first roughening the surface to be coated. Most Teflon coatings are applied with a spray machine that uses compressed air, much like spray paint. Sometimes a dip process is used to apply the Teflon coating. The objects are then baked until the Teflon forms a solid coat. This section needs additional citations for verification.

Powdered PTFE is used in a suspension with a low-viscosity, azeotropic mixture of siloxane ethers to create a lubricant for use in twisty puzzles. [52] Heat Resistance – Chemours Teflon™ industrial coatings can operate continuously at temperatures up to 287°C/550°F and can be used for intermittent service up to 316°C/600°F with adequate ventilation. Among consumers, a Teflon™ coating spray is particularly popular for its use in automobile care. Applying a Teflon™ coating spray to auto parts forms a seal that will prevent wear and tear, which lengthens the useful lifespan of the parts. For example, ball bearings are exposed to a lot of abrasion by the nature of their use. A Teflon™ coating spray, when applied to the ball bearings, will reduce the friction and abrasion endured by the ball bearings.

This ceramic coating’s application process is simple, requiring only two sprays, a wipedown with a microfiber towel, and a 24-hour cure time.

Because of its superior chemical and thermal properties, PTFE is often used as a gasket material within industries that require resistance to aggressive chemicals such as pharmaceuticals or chemical processing. [30] However, until the 1990s, [13] PTFE was not known to crosslink like an elastomer, due to its chemical inertness. Therefore, it has no "memory" and is subject to creep. Because of the propensity to creep, the long-term performance of such seals is worse than for elastomers that exhibit zero, or near-zero, levels of creep. In critical applications, Belleville washers are often used to apply continuous force to PTFE gaskets, thereby ensuring a minimal loss of performance over the lifetime of the gasket. [31] PTFE coatings are often known by their familiar or trade names, Teflon ®, Xylan ®, Fluoroplastic, Flouropolymer or Fluorocarbon coating and they take the form of a liquid paint which is sprayed onto a substrate (metals, rubbers, plastics etc) that needs to be enhanced. We can offer you a range of precision-machined items such as bearings and seals that utilise this material and are often used in pipeline and shipbuilding projects.

Ceramic car coating is a chemical, liquid polymer that bonds with a vehicle’s clearcoat and protects a vehicle’s paint from environmental damage such as: Teflon ® coatings are also frequently used to coat the inside of fuel and hydraulic lines. The low-friction coefficient makes it helpful in ensuring fluids flow through these lines in colder temperatures and higher altitudes, where these fluids may flow more slowly, helping to maintain a reliable supply.

It can be stretched to contain small pores of varying sizes and is then placed between fabric layers to make a waterproof, breathable fabric in outdoor apparel. [46] Dry lubricants are often used in Automotive or Aerospace & Defense for under bonnet / engine components, seat components and moving parts that will not subsequently need lubrication or servicing. Low friction coatings are used where perhaps two or more parts need to ‘slide’ smoothly together or within one another. Fluoropolymer Coatings are generally based on (but not necessarily limited to): PTFE, PFA, FEP, PVDF, ECTFE and ETFE The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is affordable, offers exceptional performance, and is easy to apply. Imagine the possibility of design if you could combine all the above with Alphatek’s Thermal Spray coatings? Well, you can.

These retain the useful PTFE properties of low friction and nonreactivity, but are also more easily formable. For example, FEP is softer than PTFE and melts at 533K (260°C; 500°F); it is also highly transparent and resistant to sunlight. [81] See also [ edit ]
