DuPont Non-stick Coatings
We apply DuPont non-stick coatings containing
PFA, PTFE, FEP, PVDF, ETFE and ECTFE fluoropolymer
resins. These coatings allow us to solve problems
such as chemical corrosion, sticking, and friction
up to operating temperatures of 600° F/315° C.
Dupont fluoropolymer non-stick coatings
are available in ultra thin film thicknesses
of 5 microns (.0002") up to thick film coatings
of 2540 microns (.100").
PFA Coatings have
the broadest range of chemical resistance of
all DuPont non-stick coatings at the
highest temperatures.
Porosity of PFA coatings
is generally lower than PTFE DuPont non-stick coatings.
Other characteristics include good non-stick
properties and a very
low coefficient of friction. Many versions of
PFA DuPont non-stick coatings are available
including FDA compliant coatings for direct food
contact
uses. Maximum operating temperatures are generally
500° F/260° C.
PFA DuPont non-stick coating
application thicknesses can range from 12 microns
(.0005") to 1016
microns (.040").
PTFE Coatings have nearly the same broad
range of chemical resistance that PFA DuPont non-stick coatings
have. The coefficient of friction is the lowest
of all the fluoropolymers.
Many versions of PFA DuPont non-stick coatings are
available including FDA compliant coatings for
direct food contact uses. Other characteristics
include good abrasion resistance and excellent
chemical resistance. Maximum operating temperatures
are generally 550° F/290° C.
PTFE DuPont non-stick coating
application thicknesses can range from 12 microns
(.0005") to 203
microns (.008").
FEP Coatings have a smaller
range of chemical resistance than either PFA
DuPont non-stick or PTFE
DuPont non-stick coatings as well as a lower operating
temperature of 400° F/204° C. They are
the best non-stick coatings.
FEP DuPont non-stick coating
thicknesses can range from 12 microns (.0005")
to 2540 microns (.100").
PVDF Coatings have
a very large range of chemical resistance properties
and are the most resistant
to the harshest chemicals such as hydrochloric
acid and sulfuric acid.
PVDF operating temperatures
are much lower than some of the other DuPont non-stick coatings
and range only up to 300°F/150°C.
Thicknesses
are available up to 2540 microns (.100").
ETFE Coatings are thermoplastic copolymer
coatings with extremely good toughness
and abrasion resistant
characteristics. They have excellent chemical
resistance to a very broad range of harsh chemicals.
DuPont markets their ETFE Coatings unter the
Tefzel tradename.
ETFE coatings are also
an excellent electrical insulator and have good
non-stick and low friction
properties. Maximum operating temperature is
300°F/150°C.
Thicknesses are available up to 2540 microns
(.100").
DuPont Non-stick S Coatings are unique
blends of non-stick fluoropolymers and other
high performance resins added to enhance toughness
and abrasion
resistance.
DuPont non-stick S coatings also have excellent non-stick
and low friction properties. Maximum operating
temperatures range up to 500°F/260°C.
Thicknesses
are available up to 75 microns (.003").
