Teflon coating is introduced

1.     Antifouling finishing properties of (PTFE)teflon coatings

（1）The clothes

Keeping their clothes clean is no longer a problem for many children returning to school after the holidays. Their tracksuits, skirts and trousers are treated with teflon-coated anti-fouling, which keeps the children's clothes looking sleek and tidy. The clothes also stand the toughest tests of comfort, even when they are close to sensitive parts of the body. For office workers, leaving coffee stains or ink stains on their clothes can be embarrassing. Make consumers' life more comfortable.

（2）Leather aspect

(PTFE)Teflon coated antifouling finish gives leather perfect waterproof and antifouling protection. But when it comes to vision, taste and touch, consumers are unaware of the TeflonB coating.

（3）other aspects

Teflon coating finishing is not only used in the field of clothing and leather, but also widely used in luggage, umbrella and other textile products, hunting and fishing and other recreational textiles, bedding, all kinds of decorative textiles and so on.

Surface properties：

The molecules slide easily between each other, and the friction coefficient is the lowest in all polymers. It has good lubricity, is difficult to be wetted by ordinary liquid, and has little adhesion to other substances.

Chemical resistance：

Teflon is even more resistant to chemical corrosion than rare metals. Except      perfluoroalkane and perchloroalkane can make it slightly swelling, ketones,        ethers and other organic solvents can not act on it. Because (PTFE)teflon        has little wettability, its absorption rate to acid and alkali solvent is very low.      Even at high temperature, concentrated acid, concentrated alkali and strong      oxidant cannot react with teflon uplift.

Heat and climate resistance:

Teflon has good thermal stability, and is not affected by oxygen, ozone and        ultraviolet radiation, and is not easy to age. The combustion oxygen index          of teflon is greater than 95, which is incombustible.

PTFE and ZnO/PTFE coatings displayed good wear resistance

Superhydrophobic surfaces that mimic surfaces found in nature, such as the lotus leaf, are an attractive research topic in various fields of study because of their numerous applications. More recent studies have focused on superhydrophobic surfaces that reduce or completely stop the accretion of ice and snow on power lines and aircraft that operate in cold regions. The superhydrophobic phenomena is usually achieved by creating a dual-scale roughness that is composed of micro- and nano-scale structures that trap air in-between themselves and reduce the surface energy of the textured surface.

The objective of this study was to assess the tribological behavior of micro/nano particle based superhydrophobic coating mixtures composed of PTFE, composite PTFE/PEEK, diatomaceous earth (DE), and composite PTFE/ZnO that can be potential candidates for anti-wetting and anti-icing applications for transportation systems. A contact profilometer was used to measure and characterize the average roughness and thickness of coatings. Coating wettability was assessed by measuring the tangent-line contact angle of static water drops on coated surfaces. Friction and cyclic abrasive wear tests were conducted via ball-on-flat tribometer using a spherical tungsten probe at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the coatings and identify the wear mechanisms.

The results showed that all coatings except ZnO/PTFE exhibited superhydrophobicity. Abrasive wear mechanisms were the dominant modes for the coatings. PTFE and ZnO/PTFE coatings displayed good wear resistance, superior to that of the DE and PTFE/PEEK coatings.

PTFE (teflon) coating

PTFE high performance special coating is based on polytetrafluoroethylene resin fluorocoating, the English name is Teflon, because of the pronunciation, often called Teflon and so on (all for Teflon translation). PTFE (teflon) coating is a unique high performance coating, combining heat resistance, chemical inertia, excellent insulation stability and low friction, with comprehensive advantages that no other coating can compete with, its application flexibility makes it can be used in almost all shapes and sizes of products.

Teflon is divided into PTFE, FEP, PFA and ETFE basic types:

· Teflon PTFE: PTFE (Polyfluortetraethylene) non-stick coating can be used continuously at 260℃, with maximum operating temperature of 290-300℃, extremely low friction coefficient, good wear resistance and excellent chemical stability.

· Teflon FEP: FEP (Ethylene fluoride propylene copolymer) non-stick coating forms non-porous film in the melting flow during baking, with excellent chemical stability and excellent non-stick characteristics, and the maximum operating temperature is 200℃.

· Teflon PFA: PFA (Perfluoroalkylate) nonstick coating, like FEP, forms nonporous film by melting flow during baking.PFA has the advantage of higher continuous service temperature of 260℃ and stronger toughness, especially suitable for use in the field of anti-viscosity and chemical resistance at high temperature.

· Teflon ETFE: ETFE is a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. The resin is the strongest fluoropolymer and can form a highly durable coating with excellent chemical resistance and can work continuously at 150℃.

After coating with teflon, it has the following characteristics:

1, Non-viscosity: almost all materials do not bond with PTFE film.Very thin film also shows good non - adhesion properties.

2, Heat resistance: PTFE coating film has excellent heat and low temperature resistance characteristics.It can withstand high temperature to 300℃ in a short time and can be used continuously between 240℃ and 260℃ in general. It has remarkable thermal stability. It can work at freezing temperature without embrittlement and without melting at high temperature.

3, Sliding: PTFE coating film has a lower friction coefficient.The friction coefficient changes when the load slides, but the value is only between 0.05 and 0.15.

4, Moisture resistance: PTFE coating surface does not stick to water and oil, and it is not easy to stick to solution during production operation. If there is a small amount of dirt, it can be removed simply by wiping.Short downtime, save time and improve work efficiency.

5, Wear resistance: under high load, with excellent wear resistance.Under a certain load, it has the double advantages of wear resistance and non-adhesion.

6. Corrosion resistance: teflon is almost impervious to drugs and can protect parts from any kind of chemical corrosion.

Ptfe is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene.The abbreviation is PTFE. It's called teflon. It is known as the "king of plastics".The basic structure of ptfe is. - cf2-cf2-cf2-cf2-cf2-cf2-cf2-cf2 - ptfe is widely used in a variety of acid and alkali resistance and organic solvents, it is not toxic to humans, but perfluorooctanoic acid ammonium (PFOA), one of the raw materials used in the production process, is thought to have carcinogenic effects.
