Technical Information > Release & Non-Stick Coating Release & Non-Stick CoatingThere Are Two Basic Uses For Non-Stick CoatingWhere build up of foreign material can jam mechanisms, or where release is required. How a Non-Stick Coating WorksNon-Stick coatings provide a thin fluoropolymer coating that prevents material from adhering to the coated surface, therefore shedding the contamination. Non-stick refers to the ability of a surface to release because substances are unable to adhere to it. Non-Stick coatings solve the problems created when the ideal material for use in the engineering construction has the wrong surface properties. Parts made from materials with optimum strength, weight and cost may not have the correct surface properties. Foreign Matter Build Up Requires Non-Stick CoatingsBuildup of dirt, ice, soot, scale, food and other foreign material can jam valve butterflies, throttle shafts, float elements, orifices, plungers, solenoids and other mechanisms. Examples:
ReleaseRelease is associated with cookware, coated to release food materials. But release is equally vital to industrial processes: thermoforming, rubber molding, automotive and adhesive assemblies, copying machines. In many applications, buildup of foreign particles is a far greater problem than high bearing loads or corrosion. Examples:
If contamination of a surface is anticipated, it can be minimized with a thin coating, enabling the part to shed the contaminants. If contamination is severe, buffing the coated surface will smear the fluoropolymer on the surface of the coating and increase its release property.
