PTFE electroless nickel is a co-deposition coating composed of an electroless nickel underlayer (9–12 wt% P), followed by a composite layer of electroless nickel and PTFE.
This creates a duplex coating with the following properties:
• hydrophobic, self-lubricating layer
• higher wear resistance
The coating is often applied to moving mechanical parts.
The electroless nickel-plated underlayer ensures good corrosion resistance.
Different results can be achieved, depending on the thickness of the coating.
The water-repellent hydrophobic property of the PTFE top layer enhances the corrosion resistance.
PTFE particles diameter +/- 0.4 µm
Homogeneous dispersion in the electroless nickel plating matrix.
Minimum PTFE content 20 V%
Self-lubricating – hydrophobic – Dirt resistant – non-stick coating
Electroless nickel plating matrix ensures excellent wear resistance
