Coating a plate. Looking for lubricity and heat resistant

Coating a plate. Looking for lubricity and heat resistant

Coating a plate. Looking for lubricity and heat resistant

(OP)
We need to coat an aluminium plate which is used for a machine which processes food.

We though initially about using PTFE (teflon), but the maximun suggested temperature is 260° acording to the suplier (we need up to 300°C). Someone told us to us PEEK, perhaps a coating named Victrex.

¿Do you know if this coating is suitable for our application?, ¿What are the advantages of Victrex versus Teflon?

Thanks and Regards

RE: Coating a plate. Looking for lubricity and heat resistant

What is the purpose of the coating? Does it needs to be non-stick, or is it a sliding surface contact to reduce friction?

Hi.  I agree with the others.  Vicote coatings by Victrex achieve release the way all the other manufacturers do: with PTFE or other non stick fluoropolymers.  What makes Victrex (Whitford Coatings, now, too) unique is the enhanced mechanical properties from their PEEK-based binders.
