The advantages of non-stick coatings

Non-stick coatings are essential surface sealants to significantly simplify processes and maintenance in industry and other trades; you can benefit from a wide range of advantages. See below for an overview of the most important properties of non-stick surfaces:

Reduction of adhesion		The use of non-stick coatings leads to improved productivity, as the reduced adhesion of materials to machines and tools maintains production speed and reduces downtime. Non-stick surfaces also make it easier to clean the material, as unwanted deposits do not adhere as strongly, which not only saves time during cleaning but also reduces the cost of cleaning agents. This optimizes hygiene and protects the environment. In addition, non-stick coatings extend the service life of tools and machines, as the reduced friction and abrasion caused by the robust coating enable longer use.
Improving product quality		Non-stick coatings also play a crucial role in preventing contamination, as they prevent substances from sticking to the product surface. This optimizes the quality of the products and ensures precise and uniform shaping of the materials. Design possibilities can also be expanded through complex shapes and high precision.
Reduction in material consumption		Non-stick coatings can also significantly reduce material consumption, as the materials processed with the coated surface do not stick. This results in lower material consumption and savings in material quantities. In addition, these coatings enable the manufacture of products with fewer defects and reduced waste. As a result, the product yield is increased, which also leads to lower costs.
Increased temperature resistance		Modern non-stick coatings are heat-resistant and can also be used at high temperatures.
More resistance to chemicals		Many non-stick coatings are resistant to chemicals and can also withstand aggressive media.
Enabling food safety		Non-stick coatings in the food industry do not release any harmful substances, which means that food safety can be achieved.

Versatile areas of application

Our non-stick coatings offer extensive benefits for numerous fields of application to significantly improve the efficiency and durability of your materials. Below you will find some examples of possible applications for these coatings:

Mechanical engineering and technology: Coating of tools, molds and other components for processing viscous, sticky or molten materials.
Food industry: Coating of cookware, baking trays and other surfaces to prevent food from sticking.
Textile industry: Coating of rollers and other components to prevent textiles from sticking.
Automotive industry: Coating of tools and molds for the production of plastic parts.
Electronics industry: Coating of printed circuit boards and other components to prevent short circuits.
Aerospace industry: Coating of aircraft parts to prevent corrosion.
Chemical industry: Coating of reactors and pipelines to prevent deposits and incrustations.
Film industry: Coating of tension and web guide rollers.
Medical technology: Coating of medical devices to prevent the adhesion of body fluids and tissue.
Paper and printing industry: Coating of rollers and other components to prevent paper and ink from sticking.

Other examples of industrial machines whose technical and economic properties can be optimized by non-stick coatings include stretch rollers, coating rollers, folding and drawing rollers, support rollers, pre-treatment rollers and inspection rollers, as well as crush knife shafts and friction wheels.

Types of non-stick coating

As there are various coating solutions in the non-stick coating segment, all of which have significant properties and special areas of application, it is advisable to compare the best-known non-stick coatings:

Types of non-stick coating	Core properties	Typical areas of application	Special features
PTFE	Excellent non-stick properties, extremely smooth, heat and chemical resistant, food-safe	Kitchen utensils (e.g. pans, pots)	Scratch-prone, decomposes at high temperatures
PEEK	High mechanical stability and durability, strength, more scratch-resistant than PTFE, temperature and chemical-resistant	Industry (tools, molds)	High price segment
PFA	Excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, temperature resistance, food-safe	Chemistry, medical technology	High price segment
FEP	good insulating properties, flexible, chemical-resistant	Electrical and cable industry	lower scratch resistance
Ceramics	Long service life, very robust, scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, food-safe	high-quality cooking utensils	Can break if handled improperly
MFA	modified, gas-tight, good chemical resistance, versatile	Non-stick coatings, corrosion protection
Sol-Gel	High flexibility and adaptability, scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, environmentally friendly	Almost flexible areas of application	Relatively rare in use

Choosing the right non-stick coating depends on various specific requirements, in particular the intended use and your budget.

We will be happy to advise you in detail on the right choice of non-stick coating.

Which non-stick coating is safe?

Non-stick coatings from different manufacturers can vary considerably in quality and composition. We will be happy to advise you on our non-stick coatings, which are harmless to the environment. It is generally advisable to pay attention to the following quality seals:

When choosing a material, PTFE should be avoided as it contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is potentially carcinogenic. Instead, PEEK, PFA, ceramic or sol-gel coatings are preferable as they are generally PFOA-free and harmless to health. It is advisable to check the product data sheets to ensure that no harmful substances are contained.

Certifications such as “food-safe” or “free from harmful substances” are also important. It is advisable to choose products from trustworthy manufacturers and independent testing institutes to ensure quality and safety.

The area of application of the coating also plays a role. Ceramic coatings are particularly suitable for frying pans as they are more scratch-resistant than other coatings. For baking trays, on the other hand, PTFE coatings are often the better choice due to their higher heat resistance. As an environmentally friendly alternative, the use of our Nanoflex ® Dura product is also great, as it is a PFAS-free coating solution that also has the necessary heat resistance.

Finally, the price-performance ratio should be taken into account. Safe non-stick coatings are often more expensive than conventional PTFE coatings. Nevertheless, it is worth investing in quality to protect both health and the environment.
