A clear explanation of the differences and applications of PTFE, PFA, FEP, and ETFE.
Fluororesin coatings are non-stick, heat-resistant, and chemical-resistant, making them widely used in various fields. However, the differences between types such as PTFE, PFA, FEP, and ETFE can be difficult to understand, leading to challenges in selection. Each material has a different balance of properties, making it important to choose the right one according to the application. For example, if non-stick properties are a priority, PTFE is suitable; if high purity and chemical resistance are required, PFA is the choice; if the environmental temperature is not too high and properties similar to PFA are needed, FEP is effective; and if wear resistance and strength are required, ETFE is a good option. Comprehensive design that includes not only simple material comparisons but also the usage environment, film thickness, substrate treatment, and durability is essential. We offer optimal coating specifications tailored to your applications and conditions. Please feel free to contact us for technical consultations or prototype testing.

basic information
Fluororesin coatings come in several types, including PTFE, PFA, FEP, and ETFE, each with a different balance of properties such as non-stickiness, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. PTFE is known for its excellent non-stick properties, PFA and FEP for their high chemical resistance and film reliability, and ETFE for its wear resistance and strength. It is important to select the optimal material according to the application and usage environment.

Company information
Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
