Fluorocarbon Coating (PTFE, Xylan, Teflon, Emralon )
Fluorocarbon Coating has the following characteristics:
- It is a lustrous coating.
- It has excellent adhesion.
- The effective optimum film thickness is 15-25 microns.
- Load bearing capacity: 1000 bar
- Corrosion resistance: Between 100 to 400 hours salt spray (depending upon the thickness) as per ASTM
B117
- Working range: 200 °C (continuous), 250 °C short bursts
Fluorocarbon Coating may be applied by dip, spray or any one of the conventional painting methods.
Prior surface preparation has a marked bearing upon the quality of Fluorocarbon Coating. Fluorocarbon
Coating can be given on any metal or alloy surface, which can be suitably pretreated by phosphating,
blasting, anodizing or Soft Nitriding/Nitrocarburising.
