PTFE / NON STICK COATINGS
RFI based in Hertfordshire, launched its new Industrial PTFE coating facility in 2008 aimed at supplying present and new customers with advanced coating technologies. We apply Xylan, Teflon, Greblon, Kal-Gard, Senotherm and armoured / reinforced coating systems.
Our PTFE based Fluorocarbon / Fluoropolymer coating systems have unique properties beneficial to many industries and In Use applications some of which are briefly discussed below.
Low Friction
PTFE coated surfaces reduce friction and are therefore ideal for stud bolts and fixings, shafts, spindles, switch mechanisms, locks, fasteners and bearing surfaces.
Anti Galling
PTFE coatings are ideal for preventing galling between mating surfaces especially dissimilar metals such as aluminium and stainless steel, Brass and Steel.
Non Stick / Release
PTFE coatings offer excellent non stick / release properties and are widely used in the bakery, cookware, packaging, heat sealing, moulding, chemical, pharmaceutical and aerospace industries.
High Temperature
PTFE coatings can resist advanced temperatures and perform contantly at +260'c and as high as +315'c intermittantly.
Low Temperature
PTFE coatings perform at cryogenic temperatures without deterioration of properties or performance and are stable at -260'c making them ideal for aerospace components, refrigeration seals, lock mechanisms and automotive door seals.
Non Wetting
PTFE coatings are inherently non wetting and as such dispell water and moisture making them ideal easy clean surfaces.
Reinforced Non Stick
Our reinforced non stick coating systems out perform traditional non stick coatings. We apply a reinforced layer on the component surface which increase wear life of the coating and substantially increases the scratch resistance and minimises the loss of coating when the coated surface is abraded or cut.
