The basic principle of reducing friction is liquid lubrication using oil or grease, but there are situations where this cannot be used depending on the operating environment. ■ Cannot allocate maintenance man-hours or equipment downtime for regular lubrication ■ In environments like food processing, electronic components, and clean rooms, oil splatter directly leads to product defects ■ At high temperatures, viscosity decreases or carbonization occurs, making it impossible to use oil in the first place In such sliding parts, a viable option is lubrication coatings. They can maintain low friction without the need for lubrication. This document explains the characteristics and sliding mechanism of PTFE, a representative solid lubricant, as well as application examples of fluoropolymer coatings. It also covers the non-fluorinated lubrication coating 'FFLC series' that responds to high-temperature environments and is PFAS-free, all in 22 pages. Comparison data on the friction coefficients and temperature-dependent durability of fluoropolymer coatings (PTFE) and the FFLC series is also included. *For more details, please click on "PDF Download" to view.

Q: What is the difference between not using PFOA and being PFAS-free? A: PFOA is one of the substances included in PFAS. According to structural definitions, fluoropolymers such as PTFE and PFA are also included in PFAS, so simply stating that PFOA is not used does not mean that it is PFAS-free. For individual material verification, please inform us of the substances you are targeting and the necessary documentation based on your criteria, and consult with us in advance.

Fluororesin coatings have excellent electrical insulation properties, which makes them prone to charging in environments where static electricity is generated, potentially leading to issues such as dust adhesion, material sticking, and damage to electronic components. Yoshida SKT Co., Ltd.'s "Safron" is a fluororesin-based surface treatment that enables static electricity prevention by allowing the charges generated on the coating surface to flow to the substrate metal or ground. It maintains the characteristics of fluororesin, such as non-stickiness, low friction, chemical resistance, and water repellency, while reducing problems caused by adhesion and clogging due to static electricity. Depending on the application, the lineup includes "Safron AP+" with enhanced release properties and corrosion resistance for thick film applications, "AS+" for anti-fouling properties, "LF+" for low friction and low-temperature processing on resin substrates, and "CC+" which maintains transparency. A urethane-based anti-static grade is also available, and these products are widely adopted in various fields from semiconductors to the chemical industry and general manufacturing. Pre-evaluation using test pieces is also possible.

Fluororesin coating and silicone coating are representative methods of release and non-stick coatings. Yoshida SKT Co., Ltd. handles the processing of both methods in-house, and from that position, we will introduce the considerations for their appropriate use. Fluororesin (such as PTFE) has an extremely low critical surface tension, making it multifunctional with non-stick properties, chemical resistance, electrical characteristics, and low friction. The continuous use temperature is 260°C (PTFE, PFA). Silicone also exhibits excellent release and water-repellent properties due to its low surface tension. Furthermore, our silicone-based 'MRS coating' is a surface treatment that improves the solvent resistance and film hardness issues of conventional silicone coatings, providing better release properties than Teflon (TM) fluororesin coatings, and is effective for adhesive tapes, raw rubber, and hot melt adhesives. Depending on the grade, it can be used at temperatures up to 300°C or for low-temperature processing below 80°C (compatible with resin and rubber substrates).

The main reason why silicone coatings excel in release properties is their "excellent repellency (low surface tension)." This property exhibits "water repellency" against water and "release properties" against sticky substances. Because silicone has low surface tension, it does not easily adhere to other materials, resulting in superior release and water-repellent properties. MRS coatings are an innovative coating that leverages these silicone properties while incorporating characteristics such as solvent resistance, high hardness, and high heat resistance, which were difficult to achieve with conventional silicone coatings.

MRS coatings have different grades depending on the usage environment and the required performance. For environments that require frequent cleaning with solvents, "MRS-102," which has excellent solvent resistance, is suitable. For cases where it is necessary to maintain surface shape with a thin film, such as with cutting tools and precision parts, "MRS-014" or "MRS-003" are chosen. If used in high-temperature environments, "MRS-004" is appropriate, and for processing resin products at low temperatures, "MRS-230" is suitable. After understanding the specific usage environment and performance requirements, our technical sales representatives will provide appropriate suggestions.
