The aerospace and automotive industries have highly specific
needs and require exhaustive testing before a product can be finalized. Chemours
and Intech are proud to supply these industries with superior Teflon™ coatings
for countless integral parts.
The aerospace
industry has seen the founding of the privatized space sector and
the expansion of established companies into near-space flight. Products used in
the aerospace industry have to stand up to rigorous testing and demanding
operating conditions. As such, Teflon coatings used in the aerospace industry
are highly specified, highly qualified, and resistant to a wide range of
stresses. Commonly coated aerospace parts are fuel molds, toilets, gaskets,
bearings, fasteners, clamps, and clips.
The automotive
industry, with its vast network of
suppliers, is an enormous one, because every car has about 30,000
parts. To succeed, Teflon coatings have to stand up to corrosion, salt spray,
constant abrasion, and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) challenges, while
providing dry lubrication and working seamlessly alongside fluids specific to
the automotive industry. The most common auto parts that Teflon is applied to
are brake shims, brake clips, tie rods, piston skirts, springs, and clamps.
Teflon coatings offer durability and toughness for both of
these expansive industries. The most common coatings for aerospace are FEP and
PTFE, and the most common ones for automotive are Teflon S One-Coats and ETFE. Discover
