PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coatings are high-performance fluoropolymer finishes known for their exceptional nonstick properties, low friction, and excellent chemical resistance. Applied as a thin film, PTFE coatings can withstand continuous temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) and are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive.
These coatings are available in single-coat or multi-coat systems, and provide a durable, easy-to-clean surface that resists wear, corrosion, and product build-up. PTFE is often chosen where lubrication-free operation, clean release, and protection from harsh environments are critical.
1014 PTFE Coating
A single-coat, water-based PTFE formulation designed for excellent chemical resistance and nonstick performance in moderate-duty environments. It cures to a smooth, thin film (typically 0.5–1.0 mils) and is suitable for applications up to 260°C (500°F). The 1014 series is ideal for food-grade applications, light industrial equipment, and mold release surfaces where ease of cleaning and dry lubrication are priorities.
Key Features:
-
Single-coat system for simple application
-
Excellent release and low friction coefficient
-
FDA-compliant for food contact
(varies by manufacturer) -
Moderate abrasion resistance
1052 PTFE Coating
A two-coat PTFE system consisting of a primer and a topcoat. The 1052 series offers enhanced durability and mechanical strength over single-coat options. It’s specifically designed for environments requiring better wear resistance, such as commercial bakeware, chutes, hoppers, and sliding surfaces. Suitable for operating temperatures up to 260°C (500°F).
Key Features:
-
Two-layer system (primer + topcoat)
-
Improved wear and corrosion resistance
-
Excellent nonstick and easy-release properties
-
Suitable for frequent thermal cycling
1070 PTFE Coating
A high-performance, multi-coat PTFE coating system developed for aggressive chemical and thermal environments. Known for exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and high temperatures, the 1070 series is commonly used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical equipment, and high-stress industrial parts.
Key Features:
-
Multi-coat build for maximum protection

1400 PTFE Coating
A solvent-based PTFE system that delivers a smooth, uniform coating with high nonstick and heat-resistant properties. Designed for lighter-duty applications, the 1400 series performs well in environments where a clean release and minimal residue are crucial, such as consumer cookware, small dies, or low-friction machine parts.
Key Features:
-
Solvent-based formula for smooth finish
-
Nonstick with easy-release properties
-
Operating temperature up to 260°C (500°F)
-
Ideal for food contact and decorative surfaces
1424 PTFE Coating
A reinforced, high-durability PTFE coating system offering superior mechanical and chemical resistance. The 1424 series is designed for demanding environments involving abrasion, frequent cleaning, or chemical exposure. With a thicker, multi-layer construction, it provides a tougher surface suitable for OEM parts, industrial molds, and high-cycle machinery.
Key Features:
-
Multi-layer for enhanced toughness
-
High resistance to abrasion and corrosion
-
Strong chemical barrier
-
Long service life in industrial applications
1425 PTFE Coating
An advanced version of the 1424 series, the 1425 PTFE coating incorporates additional reinforcements to handle extreme wear, thermal shock, and chemical attack. This system is often selected for high-load components in the automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment sectors, offering long-term reliability even under dynamic stress.
Key Features:
-
Enhanced reinforcement for high wear resistance
-
Thermal stability and shock resistance
-
