Food Service/Production Industry

Teflon™ PTFE coatings were invented by DuPont (now Chemours) in the mid 20th century. It was recognized that Teflon™ coatings offered superior non-stick properties for baking, cooking, and frying applications. The original Teflon™ coatings were soft and easily scratched. Chemours Teflon™ was then fortified with resins and ceramics to improve both the wear resistance and the life of the coating. Shortly thereafter the Teflon™ coating family was expanded to include PFA and FEP based coatings. Teflon™ PFA coatings and Teflon™ FEP coatings melt and flow providing a continuous fluoropolymer film, compared to Teflon™ PTFE which sinters, but does not flow. Teflon™ PFA offers the same use temperatures as PTFE (500°F) and FEP (400°F).

Automated food processing and production requires consistent application of Teflon™ fluoropolymer coatings to maximize both product quality and quantity. Having one out of 1,000 pieces stick is not only frustrating, but costly. Downtime to clear sticks/jams, defective parts, cross-contamination are all too familiar when the wrong coating is selected.
