Read MorePTFE 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 popular […]
Read MoreSince 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 […]
Read MoreMany 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 of industrial […]
Read MoreEvery mechanical device we encounter is made up of separate parts that all must fit together, moving simultaneously in a cohesive group. During the manufacturing process, sometimes parts experience small dimensional variations – as such, engineers design parts with built-in tolerances to accommodate those variations. These tolerances are a range […]

Read MorePTFE coating services for mesh screens are staples of the manufacturing world, often used in liquid and gas filtration, but also utilized in a variety of industrial applications ranging from the refining of petroleum to the fabrication of paper. The hydrophobic properties of industrial Teflon® coatings make the wire cloth […]
Read MoreCoatings make more efficient use of bearing materials and eliminate secondary machining and installation. Dry, unlubricated insert bearings excel in jobs where it’s tough to maintain oil and grease lubrication. Applications for insert bearings include sliding and rotating rods in shock absorbers, air cylinders, gas springs, solenoids, valve shuttles, […]
Read MoreThey are good enough for NASCAR engines. Bonded bearing surfaces are coatings made from high-performance polymers reinforced with hard nanosized particles. Most engineers would jump at the chance to replace bearing inserts with dry lubricants. In many cases, of course, this just hasn’t been practical. PTFE and moly-filled coatings might […]
