Product Information

Researchers at Penn State University believe the coating could slash household water consumption and prevent odours and disease-causing germs from building up in toilets. Its extremely high bulk resistivity makes it an ideal material for fabricating long-life electrets, the electrostatic analogues of permanent magnets. We then have our network of experts share their thoughts on the selected coatings. These experts have over 100 years of combined experience in aftermarket auto fields ranging from detailing to accessories to tires, and everything in between. These experts helped us identify the qualities that would be most important to someone looking for a ceramic coating and the standout brands in each category. Koch, E.-C. (2002).

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was accidentally discovered in 1938 by Roy J. Plunkett while he was working in New Jersey for DuPont. As Plunkett attempted to make a new chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant, the tetrafluoroethylene gas in its pressure bottle stopped flowing before the bottle's weight had dropped to the point signaling "empty". Since Plunkett was measuring the amount of gas used by weighing the bottle, he became curious as to the source of the weight, and finally resorted to sawing the bottle apart. He found the bottle's interior coated with a waxy white material that was oddly slippery. Analysis showed that it was polymerized perfluoroethylene, with the iron from the inside of the container having acted as a catalyst at high pressure. [4] Kinetic Chemicals patented the new fluorinated plastic (analogous to the already known polyethylene) in 1941, [5] and registered the Teflon trademark in 1945. [6] [7]

Teflon® Coating Substrates

Many Teflon® industrial coatings withstand severe temperature extremes without loss of physical properties. Teflon® industrial coatings may be used at temperatures as low as -270°C. According to Shine Armor, the spray takes only 15 minutes to apply. Make sure your vehicle is properly washed (preferably with a pH-balanced shampoo) before applying the ceramic coating. You can use it on your clearcoat, wheels, windshield, and mirrors. Our Experience Because of its superior chemical and thermal properties, PTFE is often used as a gasket material within industries that require resistance to aggressive chemicals such as pharmaceuticals or chemical processing. [30] However, until the 1990s, [13] PTFE was not known to crosslink like an elastomer, due to its chemical inertness. Therefore, it has no "memory" and is subject to creep. Because of the propensity to creep, the long-term performance of such seals is worse than for elastomers that exhibit zero, or near-zero, levels of creep. In critical applications, Belleville washers are often used to apply continuous force to PTFE gaskets, thereby ensuring a minimal loss of performance over the lifetime of the gasket. [31]

However, this ceramic car coating is not for beginners. Like many higher-quality ceramic coatings, you’ll need to prep your vehicle thoroughly before the actual application process. This includes: Many bicycle lubricants and greases contain PTFE and are used on chains and other moving parts subjected to frictional forces (such as hub bearings). This is the strongest fluoropolymer available on the market today. Teflon also makes this product and markets it under the Telzel name. Conventional air spray is the oldest spray process. It offers the best control of spray patterns and degree of atomization. This system produces the finest atomization and, therefore, the finest finishes. Conventional spray will also spray the widest range of coating materials of the four techniques. He and his team spent the next few years developing a coating they call a “liquid entrenched smooth surface”, or Less. It has two parts. The base layer binds to the toilet bowl and has protruding “nanohairs”, each one a billion times thinner than a human hair. To this they add a fine coating of silicone oil, which is held in place by the base layer. In all, the coating takes less than five minutes to apply.

Heat resistance: Teflon™ industrial coatings can operate continuously at temperatures up to 260 °C (500 °F) and be used for intermittent service up to 316 °C (600 °F), with adequate ventilation, without affecting other properties. PTFE boasts a low friction coefficient and easily resists acidic and alkaline chemicals and abrasions. Most cases of polymer fume fever in humans occur due to smoking PTFE-contaminated tobacco, [64] although cases have occurred in people who have welded near PTFE components. [64] PTFE-coated cookware is unlikely to reach dangerous temperatures with normal use, as meat is usually fried between 204 and 232°C (399 and 450°F), and most cooking oils (except refined safflower and avocado oils) start to smoke before a temperature of 260°C (500°F) is reached. A 1973 study by DuPont's Haskell Laboratory found that a 4-hour exposure to the fumes emitted by PTFE cookware heated to 280°C (536°F) was lethal for parakeets, although that was a higher temperature than the 260°C (500°F) required for fumes from pyrolyzed butter to be lethal to the birds. [65]

Teflon® Coating Process

Teflon™ PTFE, FEP, and PFA optimize performance features for many industries. Properties of Teflon™ Industrial Coatings Among consumers, a Teflon™ coating spray is particularly popular for its use in automobile care. Applying a Teflon™ coating spray to auto parts forms a seal that will prevent wear and tear, which lengthens the useful lifespan of the parts. For example, ball bearings are exposed to a lot of abrasion by the nature of their use. A Teflon™ coating spray, when applied to the ball bearings, will reduce the friction and abrasion endured by the ball bearings.

Cryogenic Stability – Many Chemours Teflon™ industrial coatings withstand severe temperature extremes without loss of physical properties. Chemours Teflon coatings may be used at temperatures as low as -270°C/-454°F. Further tests showed that the scientists’ coating was better than conventional toilet surfaces at preventing bacteria from faeces, urine or even rainwater from growing in the bowl. While the coating was stable enough to withstand 500 flushes, one test that simulated urination found that it might need replenishing after 50 “urination cycles”. By 1948, DuPont, which founded Kinetic Chemicals in partnership with General Motors, was producing over 2,000,000 pounds (910,000kg) of Teflon-brand polytetrafluoroethylene per year in Parkersburg, West Virginia. [8] An early use was in the Manhattan Project as a material to coat valves and seals in the pipes holding highly reactive uranium hexafluoride at the vast K-25 uranium enrichment plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. [9] More than 141bn litres of fresh water are used to flush toilets each day, or nearly six times the daily water consumption of Africa, Wong said. With millions around the world facing severe water scarcity, he said he hoped that reducing the amount of water used for flushing could help to alleviate the problem.ETFE is a copolymer of Ethylene and TetraFluoroEthylene and is also sold under the Tefzel® trademark. Although not fully fluorinated, it has excellent chemical resistance and can operate continuously at 149°C/300°F. This resin is the toughest of the fluoroplastics and can be applied at film builds up to 1,000 micrometres (40 mils) to provide a highly durable finish. ETFE is available in powder form.
