The core properties of items coated with PTFE are chemical resistance, high release/non-stick, heat resistance and dielectric strength. These properties make PTFE ideal for industrial manufacturing where materials must resist harsh chemicals, prevent adhesion of substances during processing, withstand high temperatures, and provide reliable electrical insulation. In sheet and roll form, PTFE supplies a versatility and quick release that makes it particularly valuable for example, in high-volume food preparation operations.
Manufacturing, Aerospace, Commercial Foodservice, Garment Graphics, Packaging, Food Processing and many others. Its widespread adoption across industries demonstrates its versatility and reliability. In commercial foodservice specifically, PTFE has become indispensable for everything from baking sheets to conveyor systems, revolutionizing both preparation and cleaning processes.
Any application greater than 550°F. While most standard commercial cooking operations rarely exceed this temperature, certain high-heat cooking methods like broiling and grilling can surpass 550°F, causing PTFE coatings to begin decomposing. This decomposition can lead to coating failure and potentially release harmful fumes. When food preparation methods exceed this 550°F limit for PTFE, commercial food service operations should choose alternative materials for these high-temperature applications.
