PTFE, or polytetrafluoroethylene, is a carbon and fluorine-based compund employed to coat different surfaces after a chemical/mechanical pre-treatment and then subjected to heat treatment: PTFE coatings are used as non-sticking treatments for different technical applications.
PTFE coatings are indeed widespread and extensively employed thanks to their excellent features of resistance to any temperature (from -40 °C to +180 °C) and to chemicals, which are unable to break its bonds; even aggressive acids cannot attack these coatings.
In addition, they are resistant to oxidation and featured by a low coefficient of friction; these qualities improve anti-sticking and smoothness properties and the chemical resistance of the base material.
Due to its excellent attributes, these coatings are employed in many industrial sectors: food, aeronautics, medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, automotive, rubber and plastics. Coating Technology S.r.l. employs PTFE treatments and coatings to cover, in particular, o-rings and various rubber elements through transparent or colored coatings, permitting any customization needed.
The company mainly applies PTFE coatings from SurTec International and products of the GLEITMO RLC range of Fuchs Lubritech, among the most durable and efficient products in the industry.
Coating Technology S.r.l. performs every PTFE coating treatment in full compliance with the current regulations in the field, employing different treatment procedures for the treatment with the ultimate goal of optimising all components properties and performances.
