1. PTFE Coating

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer that is commonly known by its trade name, Teflon®. PTFE is mostly used as an inner coating material to provide non-stick, dry lubricant and low friction film to metal objects. This unique polymer coating prevents objects from sticking and making them very easy to clean. The mechanical toughness, electrical and low friction properties makes it a preferred coating material for many of the applications. When looking for the best industrial coating services in India, Dazzle Dynacoates stands out for its exceptional quality and innovation.

Properties: non-stick. High temperature resistant. Low friction. Corrosion resistant. Non-toxic. Food safe.

2. PFA Coating

Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) is top of the line industrial coating that melt flows during baking to provide nonporous film. This multi-coat system provides continuous use to higher temperatures, have high dielectric strength & outstanding non-stick properties. It is a fairly flexible polymer with a high resistance to stress cracking and is resistant to almost all solvents and chemicals. Films can be built up to 1mm and are quite tough and abrasion resistant with continuous operating temperature up to 260 °C. At Dazzle Dynacoates, our high performance coatings are designed to provide exceptional durability and protection

Properties: chemical resistant. Non-stick. High temperature resistant. Electrical insulation

3. FEP Coating

Fluoroethylenepropylene (FEP) is a tough, flexible copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. FEP do offer high temperature resistance, excellent release and the ability to uniformly coat various complex shapes with thick or thin films. It has excellent chemical resistance and continuous operating temperatures up to 200°C (392°F). FEP coating system is suitable for the application in Chemical Processing Industrial (CPI), corrosive fume exhaust systems, and applications requiring non-stick, chemical resistance, electric insulation, etc.

Properties: chemical resistant. Non-stick. High temperature resistant

4. Tefzel® / ETFE Coating

Tefzel® is an ETFE thermoplastic copolymer derived from the polymerization of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. ETFE has excellent chemical resistance and can operate continuously at 150 °C. This resin is the toughest of all fluoropolymers and can be applied to film built-up, up to 1mm to provide a highly durable finish. Tefzel® coating system has FDA compliance and is ideal for use in chemical processing and pharmaceutical industries to provide high level of resistance to abrasion and chemical attacks.

Properties: HEAT RESISTANT, CHEMICAL RESISTANT, ELECTRICAL INSULATION, FOOD SAFE COMPLIANCE, CORROSION RESISTANCE

5. Halar / ECTFE Coating

Halar® ECTFE is a partially fluorinated semi-crystalline polymer offering a unique combination of mechanical properties, permeation resistance, thermal & chemical resistance and versatility. The purity of ECTFE makes it a suitable choice for a variety of applications that require a high level of flexibility. Halar® ECTFE has outstanding abrasion and thermal shock properties, as well as being suitable for full vacuum services over the entire PH range. It covers substandard metals, such as those used in equipment previously damaged from chemical attack. Our expert team provides the best industrial coating services in India, ensuring your components receive superior protection and durability.

Properties: HEAT RESISTANT, CHEMICAL RESISTANT, ELECTRICAL INSULATION, FOOD SAFE COMPLIANCE, CORROSION RESISTANCE

6. Xylan Coating

Xylan coatings are first and foremost dry-film lubricants; however, they have many desirable secondary properties. These lubricants are combined in a matrix with the newest high-temperature organic polymers resulting in “plastic alloys” formulated to provide unique and desirable properties. These plastic alloy coatings work under heavy loads, at high temperatures, in chemical and corrosive environments, and combinations thereof. In the industrial world, they are known as “extreme performance coatings.”

Xylan Coating Properties :

Low friction
Wear resistance: even under extreme pressures
Corrosion and chemical resistance in most environments
Weather resistance: against sunlight, saltwater and road chemicals
Wide temperature operating range: from -420° to +550°F (-250° to 285°C)
Flexible curing schedule: ambient to 750°F (400°C)
Wide color range: color-code your product
Pliability: Many Xylan coatings will bend freely and repeatedly without breaking
Machinability: apply multiple coats of Xylan coating (most formulations) and mill to specification
Excellent adhesion: to most metals, plastics, ceramics, wood. Even to itself (most formulations)

Xylan coatings offer controlled torque, easy removal of nuts in a wide range of operating temperatures, UV stability, resistance to hot soil, ease of application and they are available in many colors.

7. PEEK Coating

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a High-temperature plastic polymer that can be used in the production of extremely resistant products and also as a surface treatment. It retains its physical properties even at very high temperatures and retains excellent bending and tensile strength. PEEK’s abrasion-resistant coating is suitable for use in the aerospace, automotive, health, and nuclear industries where parts are subject to very high temperatures or hydrolysis.

PEEK is often used as the body for electrical connectors to minimize thermal expansion, provide chemical resistance, and to promote effective sealing.
