Mechanical Properties of Teflon® Coatings

The values shown in this table represent average experiences from numerous testing sources and are not intended to be specifications. These values will vary depending upon the individual compositions of the primers and topcoats and the systems used. For further information on the properties of these coating systems, and examples of how they have led to the development of new products, increased production rates and resultant cost savings, please contact us.
