Non Stick & Industrial Teflon™ Coatings

The versatility of PTFE Teflon™ coatings allow almost unlimited application to a wide variety of parts sizes and configurations, always adding value far beyond the inherent nonstick qualities.

Corrosion Resistant Coatings

These savage corrosive and high temperature environments are combated with a multi-coat application of one of many fluoropolymers such as PTFE, Halar®, ECTFE and ETFE coatings.

Chemical Resistant Coatings

Chemical processing equipment such as pharmaceutical tanks, filter tanks, small vessels, valves, reactors and flanges piping are successfully coated by Orion to protect the equipment and its contents.

Wear Resistant Coatings

The versatility of these wear resistant coatings allows almost unlimited application to a wide variety of parts sizes and configurations, always adding value far beyond the inherent wear resistant qualities.

Dry Film Lubricants

As industry demanded longer lasting, particularly highly corrosion resistant dry film lubricants, microencapsulation of the lubricant particles allowed specialized MIL-SPECS (Military specifications) with very high corrosion resistance.

Low Friction Coatings for Silicone Rubber

These unique industrial coatings allow product designers and engineers to take advantage of the benefits of silicone rubber without the high-friction surface.

Food Grade Consumer/FDA Compliant Coatings

By combining heat resistance with almost total chemical inertness, excellent dielectric stability, and a low coefficient of friction, Teflon™ and Xylan® industrial coatings offer a balance of properties unbeatable by any other material.

Chemours Consumer/FDA Coatings

Teflon™ PTFE coatings spray on like paint and bake to a tough, inert finish. Over the years, Chemours technology has extended the group of industrial Teflon™ coatings to ensure a finish with the ideal combination of properties to meet most design needs.

Anti-Microbial Coatings

With the significant economic and personal damage done by a wide range of bacteria and other microbes, attention is focused on the need for improved anti-microbial and anti-bacterial coatings that are both effective and safe.

Friction Reduction & Non-Stick Performance

Teflon™ PTFE coatings, are engineered to reduce sticking, improve release, and lower surface friction across a wide range of materials and part geometries. From metal to silicone rubber, our coatings, including our FluoroBond® LSR, chemically bond to substrates and create durable, conformal, low-friction surfaces. These benefits are essential for aerospace, defense, automotive, food, and many industrial applications where clean release and durability are essential.

Wear, Abrasion & Motion Control

To extend equipment and component life, we apply wear-resistant, chemical-resistant and dry film lubricant coatings like Halar®, nylon, FluoroPlate®, and other MIL-SPEC-required coatings. These functional industrial coatings withstand mechanical wear, reduce metal-on-metal friction, and maintain dimensional integrity in high-load or high-use applications. Whether you're designing aerospace or automotive products, or industrial tooling and components, our coating finishes reduce maintenance and increase equipment reliability and lifespan.

Corrosion, Chemical & Environmental Protection

Our advanced industrial coatings protect parts from corrosion, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperatures and environments. Using fluoropolymer coatings, we apply multi-layer barriers that resist acids, solvents, salt spray, and oxidation. Tefzel ETFE and Halar® ECTFE coatings are ideal for chemical processing, marine, aerospace, defense and cleanroom environments where durability and chemical stability are critical.

Regulatory, Safety & FDA-Compliant Finishes

Orion is a Licensed Industrial Applicator (LIA) of FDA-compliant non-stick coatings such as Chemours Teflon, Xylan® and other widely-used coatings. We deliver food-safe, high-performance, durable finishes for cookware, bakeware, and food processing equipment and parts. Our anti-microbial coatings offer added protection in healthcare, consumer, and high-touch environments, helping reduce microbial contamination while maintaining coating integrity.
