Teflon™ Coatings in the Molding Industry
MOLDING
The molding industry is vast and widespread throughout North America with billions of dollars in annual revenue. While many categories define this segment, 16,000 companies are involved in just the manufacturing of plastic products alone.
Teflon™ coatings can cut manufacturing costs by eliminating release agents and reducing product defects. Teflon coatings provide a more permanent, nonstick, repeatable high-release solution for processes across every molding industry segment.
Common Teflon™ Coatings
FEP
The dominant line in molding due to its superior release properties
FEP Teflon S
These one-coat systems are excellent for the molding industry
PFA
Choose this if end use is a higher temperature range (above 400º F)
