What is Fluoropolymer Coatings?
Fluoropolymer coatings are blends of high performance resins and Fluoropolymer lubricants.Most of the useful properties of Fluoropolymer are due to fluorine, the most electro-negative element and the most reactive non- metal. Its atomic radius is the smallest next to hydrogen, and it forms extremely strong bonds with other elements. When reacted with Carbon in Fluoropolymer, the extremely strong, tight bond produces an extraordinary combination of properties. These single coat thin films provide excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Other benefits of Fluoropolymer coatings include reduced friction, resistance to galling, non stick, non wetting, electrical resistance and abrasion resistance. Fluoropolymer coatings are applied to fasteners and various OEM components to provide a longer life before replacement.
