The Next Generation of Coatings for Durability and Long Life

Coatings applications

• Electrostatic (powder) Coating: – Powders are sprayed directly onto a heated substrate. Powders melt to

form the coating typically 100 – 1000 microns dft (4-40 mil dft).– Typical applications – Pans, rice cookers, dampers, bushings, cylinder

head gaskets, bearings, parts for corrosion resistance– Vicote 700 series products

• Dispersion Coating – The formulated aqueous based coating is sprayed onto the substrate

which is subsequently heated to form a thin film on the substrate (25-100 dft).

– Typical applications – cookware, irons, engine piston rings, bearings, large parts in chemical plants for corrosion resistance, coating glass and Kevlar™ fabrics.

– Vicote 700 (powder) or 800 (dispersions) series

• Thermal Spray– Powder is passed through flame to melt and melt the polymer which

adheres and solidifies on the cool surface. (Under development)– Potential Applications – Objects that can’t be heated in an oven.

Mobile Phone – Coating on Phone Sliding Rails

Details

System: Mobile PhoneApplication: Coting on phone sliding railsMaterial: VICOTE 810

Requirements Low noise generation Low coefficient of friction Wear resistance Surface hardness > 4H No particles generated after 100,000 cycles of sliding testing

PEEK™ Benefits Low coefficient of friction Superior wear performance Surface hardness

• Kyocera is using a-Si photoconductive drum in order to achieve

longer file (resulted from higher wear resistance).

• Oxide forms on the surface of the a-Si drum, which results in

cleaning roller subjected to high torque while scrubbing the oxide

films from the a-Si photoconductive drum.

• The gears fabricated from Victrex PEEK materials had high

mechanical strength and is able to with stand the torques without

deformation.
