Protekt Coating Solutions

Protekt Coating Solutions provides PTFE and ETFE services for bakeries and packaging machines, as well as non-stick applications for sealing plates, glue pots for woodworking, and printing houses all across Canada.

PTFE:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene.

Being hydrophobic, non-wetting , high density and resistant to high temperatures, PTFE is an incredibly versatile material with a wide variety of applications, though it's best-known for its non-stick properties.all PTFE we carry is food safe and come with our assurance of safety.

What is the difference between PTFE and ETFE ?

ETFE is resistant to a temperature range of -70℃ to 220℃, while PTFE has a slightly higher range of -80°C to 260°C. The two material's chemical and corrosion resistances are very similar, as is its resistance to weathering, while ETFE's resistance to creep and compression are better than that of PTFE.

ETFE is considered one of the most durable fluoropolymer coatings, used widely across the chemical, power, energy production, semiconductor industries , bakeries and many more. Offering a non-porous chemically resistant film for service up to 149DegC which can be a high build film and food grade safe and being FDA and CFIA approved.

ETFE:

ETFE is a fluorine based plastic, and could be described as a tough high strength version of PTFE. It has excellent chemical, electrical and high energy radiation resistance and a relatively high melting temperature.

Properties such as chemical inertness, outstanding weathering & heat resistance, excellent electrical insulation and low coefficient of friction enable ETFE to be exploited in a diverse range of applications such as football stadium roofing, wire insulation, insulated transformers, and surface coatings. ETFE is less flexible than PTFE but has far superior abrasion resistance.

ETFE is a thermoplastic and can be injection moulded into very thin components or hot compression molded into stock shapes such as Rod

ETFE is also used in the Aerospace industry, covering wire in high stress, low fume toxicity, and high-reliability situations along with the nuclear industry for tie or cable wraps.
