Automotive industry

Fluoropolymer coatings have been used in the automotive industry in a long term, mainly as the surface treatment for mass-produced parts to enhance the surface properties of components e.g.:

• Dry lubrication (with a defined coefficient of friction)
• Corrosion resistance
• Electrical non-conductivity
• Resistance to chemicals (e.g. fuel)
• Non-stick function
• Avoid unpleasant sounds – e.g. creaking
• Non-wettability

Typical applications include:

• bolts, nuts, connecting material
• springsparts of locks
• window and door mechanisms
• hinges
• components of safety belts
• steering column
• grooved shaft
• chassis Parts
• guides for roof windows
• suctions
• door hinges
• steering rod parts
• lock mechanism parts
• core used for headrest production
• shock absorber
• welding mirror
