PFA COATINGS
Like FEP, PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) coatings melt and flow during baking to provide non-porous films and increased permeation resistance.
SERVICE INFORMATION
PFA coatings offer both excellent chemical resistance and good non-stick properties. They have high electrical and impact resistance, even at elevated temperatures. Our PFA coating range provides excellent barrier/pinhole free protection for many aggressive chemicals and highly corrosive atmospheres.
PFA coatings are used on a variety of products, from the coating of bread pans, dough hoppers and a whole host of industrial bake ware to chemical vessels, pipework systems, agitators, reactors and semi-conductor duct work.
As PFA coatings are available in both water-based and powder forms this gives a greater versatility to what type of products can be coated. All aluminium, steel and stainless steel materials as well as many other metallic substrates can be coated with our PFA coating systems.
