At Coating Solutions, we work with OEM manufacturers, machine shops, and fabricators that need professionally applied industrial coatings for custom metal components and repeat production runs. OEM manufacturers depend on metal components that perform reliably in demanding environments. When friction, sticking, corrosion, chemical exposure, or difficult product release causes problems, custom Teflon coating for OEM metal parts can provide an effective solution.
Industrial Teflon and fluoropolymer coatings can give metal components low-friction, non-stick, chemical-resistant, and corrosion-resistant surface properties. The key is choosing the right coating for the specific part and application.
Why Do OEM Manufacturers Use Teflon Coatings?
Most OEM engineers aren’t looking for a coating simply to change the appearance of a part. They’re trying to solve a performance problem.
Industrial Teflon coatings may help provide:
- Low friction between moving or mating components
- Non-stick properties for improved product release
- Chemical resistance in demanding environments
- Corrosion protection for metal surfaces
- Improved cleanability
- Reduced sticking and material buildup
- Performance across demanding temperatures
These properties make fluoropolymer coatings useful for many manufacturing, processing, packaging, and industrial equipment applications.
What OEM Metal Parts Can Be Teflon Coated?
A wide variety of metal components may be candidates for custom fluoropolymer coating. Examples include:
- Shafts and rollers
- Pins and bushings
- Guides
- Plates and brackets
- Chutes and hoppers
- Trays
- Molds
- Machine components
- Food-processing equipment parts
- Custom-machined components
- Fabricated metal assemblies
Instead of simply asking, “Can this part be Teflon coated?”, OEM engineers should ask which fluoropolymer coating will perform best in this component’s actual operating environment? Choosing the correct coating system can significantly affect long-term performance.
For OEM manufacturers, coating consistency matters just as much as coating performance.
A custom coating supplier may need to accommodate prototypes, short runs, larger production quantities, masking requirements, specified coating thicknesses, and repeat orders.
Machine shops and fabrication companies can also outsource fluoropolymer coating when they manufacture a component to an OEM drawing but don’t have coating capabilities in-house.
Need Custom Teflon Coating for OEM Metal Parts?
Coating Solutions can review your application and help determine an appropriate industrial fluoropolymer coating for your components. Whether you’re developing a new OEM part or trying to solve a friction, sticking, release, chemical, or corrosion problem on an existing component, contact us to discuss your application and request a custom Teflon coating quote.
