Choosing solely based on environmental considerations is dangerous. What are the PFAS measures that take into account release properties, durability, and productivity?
With the strengthening of PFAS regulations, there has been a sharp increase in inquiries about wanting to switch to "PFAS-free materials." However, on the other hand, there are not a few cases where selecting surface treatments based on the idea that "anything PFAS-free is fine" has resulted in new problems such as poor release properties, reduced durability, and increased costs. Fluoropolymer coatings are materials that have achieved a high level of performance in heat resistance, chemical resistance, non-stick properties, and low friction. Therefore, simple substitutions may not maintain equivalent performance. The important thing is not to make "PFAS-free conversion itself" the goal, but to advance environmental measures while maintaining the necessary performance on-site. Our company possesses multiple PFAS-free technologies, including PEEK, ceramics, and silicone-based materials, and provides optimal proposals according to the usage environment.

basic information
As regulations on PFAS progress, the manufacturing industry is accelerating the exploration of alternative technologies to fluoropolymer coatings. However, fluoropolymers are special materials that simultaneously meet requirements such as "release properties," "chemical resistance," "heat resistance," and "low friction." Simple replacements can lead to performance deficiencies in some cases. For example, if release properties decrease due to the removal of PFAS, issues such as adhesion, scorching, stringing, and transport failures may arise, potentially leading to decreased productivity and line stoppages. Additionally, insufficient durability or chemical resistance may result in increased replacement frequency and shorter lifespans, leading to cost deterioration. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively evaluate temperature conditions, wear conditions, chemical conditions, cleaning methods, and required lifespan in order to select surface treatments appropriate for specific applications.

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.
