Pro-Tek Surface Technologies
uses Floropolymer coatings
on carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, steel alloys, brass, and magnesium, as well as non-metallics such as glass, fiberglass, some rubber, and plastics. Optimum adhesion is obtained by roughening the surface before applying the coating. Except where specifically mentioned, most of these coatings require a primer coat
Pro-Tek Surface Technologies
is an applicator of specialized coatings. We apply products such as PTFE, FEP, ETFE, PFA, Nylon, Halar, Protekote and a variety of other coatings. Pro-Tek Surface Technologies is a Licensed Industrial Applicator of Teflon® and has also been certified by Whitford University in the application of Xylan and Xylar coatings.

Recoat instead of replace
Once the Fluoropolymer has worn off, the part does not have to be replaced. Pro-Tek has successfully recoated many items such as Fusion Faces, heat sealing bars, and heater plates to name a few.

Fluoropolymer Coatings
-
1. PTFE
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) nonstick coatings are two-coat (primer/topcoat) systems. These products have the highest operating temperature of any fluoropolymer (260°C/500°F), an extremely low coefficient of friction, good abrasion resistance, and good chemical resistance. PTFE is available only in water-based liquid form.
- 2. FEP
FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer) nonstick coatings melt and flow during baking to provide nonporous films. These coatings provide excellent chemical resistance. In addition to low friction, FEP coatings have excellent nonstick properties. Maximum use temperature is 204°C/400°F. FEP is available in water-based liquid and powder forms.
- 3. PFA
Like FEP, PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) nonstick coatings melt and flow during baking to provide nonporous films. PFA offers the additional benefits of higher continuous use temperature (260°C/500°F), film thicknesses up to 1,000 micrometers (40 mils), and greater toughness than PTFE or FEP. This combination of properties makes PFA an excellent choice for a wide variety of uses, especially those involving chemical resistance. PFA is available in both water-based liquid and powder forms.

4. ETFE
ETFE is a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene and is also sold under the TefzelŽ trademark. Although not fully fluorinated, ETFE has excellent chemical resistance and can operate continuously at 149°C/300°F. This resin is the toughest of the fluoropolymers and can be applied at film builds up to 1,000 micrometers (40 mils) to provide a highly durable finish. ETFE is available in powder form.
