Non-stick
Very few solid substances will
permanently adhere to a Teflon®
finish. And while tacky materials
may show some adhesion, almost
all substances release easily.
Low coefficient of friction
The coefficient of friction of
Teflon® is generally in the range
of 0.05 to 0.20, depending on
the load, sliding speed and
particular Teflon® coating used.
Nonwetting
Since surfaces coated with
Teflon® are both oleophobic and
hydrophobic, they are not readily
wet. Cleanup is easier and more
thorough—in many cases,
surfaces are self-cleaning.
Heat resistance
Teflon® Industrial coatings
can operate continuously at
temperatures up to 290°C/550°F
and can be used for intermittent
service up to 315°C/600°F with
adequate ventilation.
