It is hard to go a day without hearing or reading the word “Teflon.” It has become so ingrained in our modern verbiage that it’s one of those trademark names, like Kleenex® or Post-It®, that gets used to cover a much broader range than it actually means. Teflon® is a little different though: while it may occasionally be used to refer to other non-stick coatings, the real difference is that there are so many different formulations that fall under the Teflon® umbrella, that the single name is now used to talk about 60 or 70 different chemistries.
These formulations include Teflon® PTFE, FEP, ETFE, PFA, and many more. Each of these amazing and groundbreaking formulations has different and often unique characteristics. Teflon® offers coatings that are non-stick, heat resistant, chemical resistant, water resistant, just to name a few. With all these choices, it is easy to get confused. Many of our customers know that they need Teflon® coatings for their machinery, however with 70 to choose from, they don’t always know exactly which formulation is perfect for their needs. That’s why PCM is here. We know everything there is to know about the Teflon® family of coating systems.
