Uses within the industrial business sector are almost limitless, an area in which Teflon® and Xylan® coatings play a huge role is that of heavy lifting equipment, such equipment requires load bearing properties combined with abrasion and corrosion resistance. Industrial fasteners and fixings show clear advantages from the application of PTFE coatings, for both torque values and identification, particularly when safety critical parts are involved. PTFE coatings are well suited for use with vessels and heat exchangers, giving clear advantages when gaskets are PTFE coated, providing excellent release properties when maintenance is required and reducing downtime.
Printing equipment and associated markets that are dealing with inks and various chemicals for image making are assisted by PTFE coatings, giving full advantage of chemical resistance as well abrasion resistance. Process plant equipment where filtration is required has shown clear improvements when PTFE coatings are involved, giving improved performance coupled with resistance to chemical, abrasion and wear.
Areas that require high release characteristics gain from PTFE coatings and take full advantage of the additional elements, such as low friction and durability.
