Time: 2014-03-19 Source from: www.coatingsworld.com
Intech Services is the sole distributor of DuPont Teflon Industrial coatings.
According to Intech, DuPont's Tefzel product line was never discontinued, just referred to as ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) Teflon.
In 2013, DuPont expanded the product line by developing a powder primer (532-6405) and a new high build clear topcoat (532-6410) to complement the existing Tefzel products. The new high build product can be applied to film builds of 80-100 mils, depending upon part geometry.
Tefzel is a rugged thermoplastic with an outstanding balance of properties. When compared against the competition, Tefzel® provides several thermal advantages, such as: better chemical resistance at higher operating temperatures, a higher melting point which provides improved thermal stability, and lessened low temperature embrittlement.
In addition to these qualities, Tefzel s extremely tough and electrically insulative with superior substrate adhesion.
