Fluororesin Coating: "What are Heat Resistance and Cold Resistance?"

The representative characteristics of fluororesin coating, specifically Teflon coating, are "heat resistance and cold resistance." This will be explained in detail.

■Reasons why fluoropolymer (PTFE) excels in heat and cold resistance The molecular structure of PTFE consists of carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds surrounded completely by fluorine atoms (F). The breaking of C-C bonds or C-F bonds at high temperatures is one aspect of "PTFE degradation." The C-C bonds are less likely to break because they are protected by the fluorine atoms (F). The bond strength of C-F bonds within PTFE molecules is significantly greater than that of bonds between other atoms. Additionally, the high bond energy of C-F bonds is another reason for its excellent heat and cold resistance. ■Applications utilizing the heat and cold resistance of fluoropolymers In the case of fluoropolymer coatings, for example, baking molds utilize the non-stick properties provided by the coating to prevent baked goods from sticking to the mold. Furthermore, since it also possesses heat resistance, it can be safely used in applications such as baking in an oven. Additionally, in household irons, the heat plate is coated with fluoropolymer to take advantage of its smoothness and heat-resistant properties.
