PTFE impregnated anodizing meets the requirements of MIL-A-63576 and AMS 2482. During the process, an aluminum oxide coating is impregnated with PTFE to increase the wear and corrosion resistance, hardness and lubricity of anodized aluminum. It transforms the surface of aluminum into a ceramic type of material, which cannot be scratched or nicked by ordinary means. This process is well suited for gears, pumps, hydraulic cylinders, transmission thrust washers, differential cross shafts on which resistance to galling wear is obtained.
The benefits of PTFE impregnated anodizing include:
• Improved abrasion resistance
• Perfect bond to base metal
• Chemical resistance
• Permanent lubricity
• Thermal Conductivity
• Corrosion Resistance
• Hardness
• High Dielectric Strength
• Wear Resistant Mold Release
• PTFE / Teflon
