Teflon® is Our Specialty Discovered in the early 40s by duPont. It is used for a variety of characteristics like: Non Stick - very few solid substances will adhere, tacky materials may show some adhesion, but, release easily. Friction Reduction - coeffient of friction ranges from .05 - .20 depending on the lead, sliding speed and type of coating used. Chemical Protection - only affected by alkalimetals and highly reactive fluorinating agents. Coated surfaces offer varying degrees of substate protection. Non Wetting - coated surfaces become oleophobic and hydophobic, so they are not readily wetted, resulting in an easily cleaned or ìself cleaningî surface. Unique Electrical Properties - over a wide frequency range, the coating has high dielectric strength, a low dissipation factor, and very high surface resistivity. Cryogenic Stability - many coatings will withstand severe temperature extremes wile maintaining physical properties. Can be used at temperatures as low as -450 F. |
