Polymer coatings
what is polymer coating?
PTFE in PTFE coatings stands for polytetrafluorethylene, a semi-crystalline polymer consisting of fluorine and carbon. When heated, the consistency of PTFE becomes soft and rubbery, but usually not meltable or liquid. PTFE has anti-adhesive properties and can hardly be wetted. It can be subjected to a wide range of temperatures (continuous service temperatures: from approx. -200°C to 250°C; temporary exposure: up to 300°C; crystallite melting point: 327 °C); PTFE is almost incombustible.
High-quality polymer and fluoropolymer coatings for almost all base materials
Our robust and partially patented premium polymer surface coatings are applied onto the workpieces using special coating methods. Our special technique ensures long-lasting coatings which become extremely well anchored in a wide variety of base materials:
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Ceramics
- Plastics
- Copper
- Aluminum
PTFE coatings: No adhesions during work with rubber or food
Teflon® coatings stand out with their excellent non-stick properties: Even tricky ingredients, such as adhesive, rubber or sticky food, will not adhere to the hydrophobic surface finish. Teflon® was originally developed for cookware. Today, we use the 5 to 50 µm thick synthetic surface coating in single-, double- and three-layer systems, which allows us to cover a broad range of possibilities. PTFE coatings can be applied to workpieces in dimensions of up to 5 x 2,5 x 2,5 meters.
MagnaCoat® polymer and fluoropolymer coating
MagnaCoat® coatings are thick-film polymer and fluoropolymer coatings with a virtually pore-free surface. MagnaCoat® is suitable for heavy-duty corrosion protection. This coating has been developed for applications which require not only chemical resistance but also non-stick properties. Besides, this type of coating can be used where the diffusion resistance of comparable coatings is not sufficient.
Typical applications in the chemical industry include:
- Storage containers
- Reaction vessels
- Valves
- Agitators
- Sensors
- Rotary dryers or calender rolls
TempCoat® polymer coating
During the TempCoat® process, special polymer and fluoropolymer coatings are created. Due to the targeted modification of the surface structure with defined roughness profiles, the contact surface is reduced, which results in enhanced non-stick properties. Thanks to their low static and kinetic coefficients of friction, fluorinated polymer films are an indispensable coating material for a wide range of industrial applications.
TempCoat® polymer coatings come into play in technical areas whenever high wear resistance and good gliding and non-stick properties are required. The efficient and trouble-free processing and transportation of metals, plastics, paper and foods in different production processes are no longer possible without excellent anti-friction properties of surfaces which come into contact with products. Sliding bearings modified with TempCoat® are indispensable in many applications and sectors, such as the printing, bakery and chemical industries.
