Fluoropolymer coatings are blends of high-performance resins and fluoropolymer lubricants. These coatings contain a superior dry film lubricant. The final product produces a smooth, hard, slick coating that provides excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Other benefits of fluoropolymer coatings include reduced friction, resistance to galling, non-stick, non-wetting, electrical resistance and abrasion resistance. Fluoropolymer coating applications are extensive; the coatings are applied to fasteners and various OEM components to provide a longer life before replacement.

PTFE coatings, or Polytetrafluoroethylene are superior non-stick fluoropolymer coatings with a very durable thin film coating. These products have the highest operating temperature of any fluoropolymer and have an extremely low coefficient of friction, good abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. This coating is normally used where a smooth, low friction, corrosion resistant coating is necessary. One of the most popular uses of PTFE coatings is for non-stick applications or any application needing a food grade coating.

Molybdenum Disulfide Coatings (MoS2 coatings), also known as Moly Coatings are commonly used in applications where load carrying capacity, operating pressure and coefficient of friction are primary concerns. This coating provides effective lubrication in a wide range of loads, in many cases exceeding 250,000 psi. Moly coatings lubricate sacrificially by transferring lubricant between the two mating surfaces, which helps to reduce wear and coefficient of friction. Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) coatings are a dry film lubricant.

Phosphate coatings are a crystalline conversion coating for steel and other metals that is formed on a ferrous metal substrate. The process of Phosphate coating is employed for the purpose of pretreatment prior to coating or painting, increasing corrosion protection and improving friction properties of sliding components. In other instances, phosphate coatings are applied to threaded parts and top coated with oil (P&O) to add anti-galling and rust inhibiting characteristics. The phosphating process relies on the basic pickling reaction that occurs on the metal substrate when the process solution comes in contact with the metal. The main benefits that phosphating provides is strong adhesion and corrosion protection. Typically, phosphate coatings are applied to steel parts because iron in the steel is required for the coating to form. Metal Coatings Corp. offers both zinc phosphate and manganese phosphate coating in a dark gray/black aprearance.

Thermal cure epoxy coatings are specially blended high molecular weight coatings which provide outstanding corrosion resistance in most environments. These thermally cured epoxy coatings are also ideal for applications where an abrasion resistant coating is needed and often used for it`s impact, strength and corrosion resistance. Thermally conductive epoxy cure coatings offer excellent barrier protection from alkali and caustic solutions, and other harsh chemicals and solvents.
