Automotive industry
Fluoropolymer coatings have been used in the automotive industry for many years, especially in the surface treatment of mass-produced parts to help with:
- Dry lubrication (with a defined coefficient of friction)
- Corrosion resistance
- Electrical non-conductivity
- Chemical / solvent resistance
- Non-stick function
- Noise-resistance
- Water-resistance
Typical applications include:
- bolts, nuts, connecting material
- springsparts of locks
- window and door mechanisms
- hinges
- components of safety belts
- steering columns
- grooved shafts
- chassis parts
- guides for roof windows
- suctions
- door hinges
- steering rod parts
- lock mechanism parts
- core used for headrest production
- shock absorber
- welding mirror
