The uses for PTFE coatings within the automotive industry are many, from fasteners to electro-mechanical equipment. Other uses include the coating of moulds that produce complicated manifold designs, by way of the loss wax method. PTFE coating of elastomer based components, with flexible finishes, is also in high demand, with particular emphasis on noise reduction and sealing between body panels and glass. Additional benefits are abrasion and weather resistance. 
The ultimate accolade in the automotive industry for PTFE coatings comes from the high performance world of F1 racing, this area of expertise demands ever higher standards of excellence that PTFE coatings can provide. Because of the nature of PTFE coating systems, having thicknesses of between 20 and 30 microns, there is no loss of performance within the geometry of the component part.
