Coating Products Offer Superior Quality and Reliability as Insulators First, let’s have a quick review of fluoropolymer coatings. You are probably familiar with the most widely known properties of fluoropolymer coatings: Non-stick Low friction Non-wetting Thermal stability Electrical insulation Chemical resistance You might be aware of the many ways choosing the right coatings can improve outputs and overall product performance. When you use the correct selection and application of a fluoropolymer coating, you can add significant value to your parts.

Part 3 of 3: The Case of the Teflon®-Coated Piano Wire and Cookie Dough What relationship could a piano wire possibly have with cookie dough, you ask? None—if it’s just an ordinary piano wire. On the other hand, a Teflon®-coated piano wire has everything to do with one company’s cookie making success.

Part 1 of 3: What Does Your Waffle Have to Do with Our Teflon® Coating? To put it very briefly, the answer to that question is … everything. Chemours™ (formerly DuPont) Teflon® industrial coating is very popular with the food processing industry because of its release properties and high-temperature resistance. If not for the Teflon® coating that goes on the waffle mold or tray, your waffles might not taste the same or pop out as perfectly (and crunchy) as they currently do—resulting in the needless trashing of so many waffles! The same goes for all your ice-cream cones and muffins.

American Durafilm® Adds New Vacuum Recovery System American Durafilm® recently added a new vacuum recovery system that not only doubles the capacity of the sandblaster, but also halves the recovery time while prepping customer parts for fluoropolymer coatings. The new unit will also allow for more accurate grit blasting and will significantly reduce processing time for customer orders during the preparatory phase. With the addition of the new system, we are looking at cutting down lead times, reducing rejects, and decreasing potential damage to surfaces that are to be prepped for fluoropolymer coating.

It’s Not Part of the Process Anymore Here’s what you need to know about the use of PFOA in American Durafilm® products: it’s not in them. Plain and simple. In fact, PFOA was never in any of the tubing materials offered by American Durafilm, and it was removed from the films and coatings several years ago.
