What You Need to Know About Fluoropolymer Coating

What You Need to Know About Fluoropolymer Coating

If you’re a product manufacturer or designer looking to protect your equipment with something that is highly resistant to friction, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, fluoropolymer coating may be just the thing you need. At Secoa Metal Finishing, we offer many coating options, including fluoropolymer coating to help you keep your surfaces safe.

A Highly Versatile Coating

Several fluoropolymers are often applied to metals such as steel, aluminum, brass, and alloys. They can also be applied to plastics and other materials if you rough up the surface first. Fluoropolymer coatings are often used on cookware, though there are plenty of other applications as well.

Tool Production and Technology Applications

Fluoropolymer coating is frequently utilized in the tech sector on things like circuit boards and wiring. Because these coatings have exceptionally high heat resistance and excellent insulation capabilities, it is highly sought after as a coating for cables, plugs, and jacks that contact or channel electrical currents.

Medical Instruments

In the medical field, fluoropolymer coatings are used for manufacturing medications and protecting sensitive surgical equipment. Fluoropolymer coatings are also non-reactive to biological fluids – giving them even more medical applications.

Non-stick Cookware and Food Processing

Fluoropolymer coatings are heat resistant, non-stick, hydrophobic (water repellent), and have an extremely high melting point of 620°F. For these reasons, they are often used in the food processing and cookware industries. Another reason fluoropolymer coatings are great for cookware is that they do not absorb smells or flavors from the surrounding environment. And unlike plastic, it is chemically inert.

Heavy Industrial Uses

Fluoropolymer coatings are friction resistant, which make them highly useful in many industrial settings. Fluoropolymer coatings help prevent premature wear and tear and the breakdown of moving parts, effectively extending the lifespan of machines. If it involves bearings, gears, or parts that slide, a fluoropolymer coating can improve it.

Different Types of Anti-corrosion Coatings

Corrosion can be a threat to all manner of things, such as farm equipment, buildings, pipelines, ships, vehicles, and bridges, to name a few. The best way to protect such objects is by applying anti-corrosion coatings. These coatings can be useful in urban and rural environments, underground or in the open air. They are also useful in industrial settings like the marine and mining sectors. At Secoa Metal Finishing, we offer an extensive range of coatings that can help you protect your assets. The material you are trying to protect and the conditions to which it is exposed will help determine which anti-rust or anti-corrosion coatings will best suit your needs.

Anti-corrosion Coating Products

We offer a wide variety of coatings that protect against corrosion-causing substances like air, water, and chemicals. Each type of coating has unique features that make it particularly well suited to certain purposes.

Epoxy

Epoxy anti-corrosive powder coating holds up well even in the wettest of environments. This makes it a popular choice for applications involving waste treatment, water valves, or weather-proofing.

Plascoat

When applied to standard steel, plascoat can provide exceptional anti-corrosion protection, making it a great alternative to stainless steel. It is an outstanding option for applications in the food and architectural industries.

Nylon

Nylon polymer coating is quite versatile. It is often applied to automotive, medical, and industrial equipment, and is frequently used in the field of information technology.

Other Polymers

Polymer coatings are known for their durability and anti-corrosion properties. As such, they are very useful in industrial settings. These coating products are very useful when piping, valves, or pumps are involved. If you want to protect your equipment from corrosion, look no further. We at Secoa provide high-quality anti-rust and anti-corrosion coatings that are sure to meet your needs.

Basics of Food Grade Non-Stick Coating

Basics of Food Grade Non-Stick Coating

Applying food-grade non-stick coatings to stainless steel and other common kitchen staples can create safe and convenient cooking surfaces. At Secoa Metal Finishing, we offer fluoropolymer coatings that have been engineered to prevent corrosion and provide easy cleanup. Our FDA approved powder coatings make for long-lasting and durable surfaces with all kinds of useful applications.

Non-Stick Food Grade Coating Benefits

Non-stick coatings allow food processing equipment to function with high efficiency and lower the risk of food contamination over recurring cleaning cycles. Those in the food prep industry will know that making sure food prep equipment is properly cleaned can be time consuming. Our coatings cut down on cleaning time and make food prep more efficient. Here are a few more benefits of using food grade coatings:
  • They protect food preparation equipment
  • They produce non-stick surfaces
  • They provide fast mold release
  • They can withstand extreme cold and extreme heat
  • They resist damage caused by water, hot oils, steam, and fats
At Secoa Metal Finishing, our non-stick coatings are authorized by the FDA and used by all kinds of businesses where safe and easy maintenance are of the utmost importance. Our coatings will protect your equipment against heat, abrasion, and corrosion. Contact our team for help determining which coating solution is right for you.

Release Coating Types and Properties

Release Coating Functions and Features

Release coating are used to maintain and improve production process operations in a wide variety of industrial settings.  At Secoa Metal Finishing, we provide exceptional fluoropolymer coatings that effectively stop corrosion, create long-lasting and durable surfaces, and make cleanup a cinch.

Lengthening Equipment Operations

Release coatings can be used to enhance machinery performance, and can be applied without the use of other lubricants which may attract dirt particles. Applying release coating to a machine can help it achieve smooth operation and greater efficiency, even if the machine has been dormant for extended periods of time. In some cases, release coatings can also bring down noise levels generated by equipment, and lower the amount of friction between pieces of machinery. Release coatings cure quickly, are easy to apply, and provide surfaces with protection and durability. As a result, they are used in many different industries, including automotive, national security, communications, and electronics. Release coatings are exceptionally tough , and provide a cost-effective way to ensure the longevity of your equipment.

Heat Protection

Fluoropolymer is heat resistant, and can function in temperatures up to 500°F. Because of this, it is used to protect electrical wires from sustaining heat damage.

Food Preparation

Due in part to their high heat resistance, fluoropolymer coatings are often used in the food prep industry. They also make cleaning cookware a breeze thanks to their nonstick properties. Using release coatings can increase your equipment’s lifespan and help it operate more efficiently, which will save you money in the long run.
