Introduction to the Basics of Fluororesin (PTFE)

If you have any concerns such as "I want more glide," please feel free to consult us anytime!

We are engaged in the contract processing and sales of fluororesin coatings and linings at Nippon Fusso Technocoat. Here, we introduce "Basic Knowledge of Fluororesins (PTFE)." Fluororesins have various properties such as heat resistance, corrosion resistance, non-stick characteristics, sliding properties, thermal meltability, high purity, and prevention of leaching. This time, we will focus on a representative fluororesin called "PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)." Its molecular formula is -(CF2-CF2)n-. It has extremely strong molecular bonds of C-C and C-F. The continuous use temperature is 260°C, and the melting point is 327°C, which is exceptionally high for a resin. The dynamic friction coefficient is 0.1, providing extremely high sliding properties and non-stick performance. Examples of applications include sizing cylinders, rolls, chutes, guides, and various food processing equipment. If you have concerns such as "things sticking and causing trouble" or "wanting better sliding," please feel free to consult us at any time. If you are struggling with "sticky substances sticking," we can also introduce our strong adhesive release coating "Tack-Free." *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
