Orion Industries has a deep understanding of the crucial role of Teflon™ coatings on aerospace parts. These coatings, with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) being the most commonly used, are key in many aerospace applications. It’s essential to recognize that while Teflon is commonly equated with PTFE, there’s a distinction: Not all Teflon […]
How Technetics and Orion Engineered a Repeatable PTFE Coating Process for Complex Rocket Seals In aerospace propulsion systems, seals are silent workhorses. Hidden inside rocket and jet engines, they maintain pressure differentials, minimize leakage, and perform reliably amid extreme heat, vibration, and in some applications, extremely low cryogenic temperatures. […]
Many people know that Teflon™ is used as a coating in non-stick cookware products such as pots and pans. With this application, Teflon creates a low-friction cooking surface that reduces stuck on food, cleans up easier and lets you cook with less fat. However, there are a million other uses […]

PTFE coatings, known by many as Teflon™, is a remarkable coating with a wide variety of applications. While most commonly associated with non-stick coating for cookware, Teflon™ coatings have many uses across a wide number of industries. Although it’s been around for nearly seven decades, Teflon™ coating services remains highly […]
Since its discovery in 1938, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been used in a variety of applications across a number of industries. PTFE coatings are primarily known to the general public as the basis of Teflon coating, the solid polymer manufactured by Chemours. Teflon™ is famous for its slippery properties, which makes […]
PTFE coatings, colloquially referred to as Teflon® coatings, makes many modern products possible, thanks to the heat, chemical, water and electrical resistance this industrial coating provides. Proper pretreatment of materials before the application of this non-stick, low-friction coating is essential to getting the greatest benefit from PTFE coating. Discovered in […]
Nonstick Coatings Technology There are indications that more than three thousand years ago some ancient Greeks might have made and used nonstick pans to bake bread. Mycenaean Greek skillets had a cooking side covered with tiny holes that archeologists believed helped to evenly spread oil over the griddle so that […]
