Corrosion-resistant PTFE coatings or paints are used to protect metal components.

Our release coatings have a long non-stick lifespan and improve efficiency ideal in applications such as packaging equipment, processing tools, machinery and moulds.

Friction and surface release solutions for applications where liquid lubricants cannot be used.

We work with our clients to understand the environment of the of end product, to ensure the material we recommend is suitable.

We've collated some of the mostly commonly asked questions about PTFE and fluoropolymer coatings.

Common coatings terminology demystified in our glossary - know your 'cold flow' from your 'sintering'.

We know that not all coatings applications have a one size fits all solution.

We can manufacture large filled PEEK bearing cages and also coat existing cages in PEEK to improve their temperature resistance.

We can design and manufacture an almost limitless range of VICTREX PEEK back up rings (BUR’s) as well as PTFE rings. 

Frac balls made from PEEK or glass filled nylon can be manufactured in any size you need.

The versatility of our PTFE and PEEK insulators is one of their key strengths.

Laser marking gives you the flexibility to engrave your components with a broad range of designs and text.

We are proud to have assisted with development of many insulating components with a diameter of 1mm or less.

We offer comprehensive plastic CNC milling services from the micro in size to much larger 1 meter long components.

Tornos Deco technology allows us to produce cost-competitive parts to the very highest standards.

CNC turning of PTFE and engineering plastics. Live tooling on our lathes mean competitive pricing and shorter lead times.

We manufacture valve seats manufactured from our AF range of materials, including PTFE and VICTREX PEEK materials.

AFT Fluorotec have a broad range of experience in designing and manufacturing RCD seals for the oil & gas industry.

From back up rings and mining seals to piston seals and o rings, we offer a wide range of sealing products machined from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

With outstanding mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties, PEEK is an ideal material to use for sealing applications.

We pride ourselves on our expert knowledge of the compressor parts industry, providing a wide range of compounds suitable for your application. 

We are a leading manufacturer of PTFE and fluoropolymer materials, manufacturing expansion bearings to meet your individual needs.

AFT Fluorotec Structural Bearings can reduce construction costs by designing for expansion rather than strain.

Recessed Slide Bearings can take exceptionally high loads up to 510 kg/cm2. 

Expert paint removal treatment to extend product lifespan.

Our metal cleaning service is ideal for removing paint, rust and other coatings from a wide range of metals including steel, aluminium, copper and iron & cast.

Our pyrolysis burn off oven is an extremely effective solution for the removal of plastic or paint coatings and contaminants.

Our coating removal processes ensure the integrity of the surface material is left undamaged, whilst removing rust, paint or any other unwanted coating.

Shot blasting is used in a wide range of industries, almost every industry that uses metal, including aerospace & automotive, construction and oil & gas, to name but a few.

VICTREX PEEK is a semi-crystalline polymer widely regarded as one of the highest performing thermoplastics in the world.

AFT Fluorotec can work with your team to design the VICTREX PEEK components you need.

Our is a AF801 Virgin VICTREX PEEK is a very high performance engineering thermoplastic for extremely demanding applications.

Virgin VICTREX PEEK with 30% Glass fibre filler dramatically increases thermal bearing strength and also has excellent creep and radiation resistance.

Filled VICTREX PEEK with 30% Carbon Fibre filler gives the material a very high thermal bearing strength and lower coefficient of friction.

Formulated to give greater flexibility than standard VICTREX PEEK materials and a much lower coefficient of friction.

Specifically developed for use at elevated temperatures and for prolonged use at elevated temperatures, AF816 retains its key physical properties to temperatures 30OC higher than standard AF801 Virgin PEEK.

Components crafted from VICTREX PEEK materials are particularly effective in the oil and gas industry due to the material's tolerances to high temperatures and corrosive environments.

VICTREX PEEK has a wider range of processing options, is lighter and more durable than many metal counterparts, and as such makes an effective and cost efficient replacement for metals.

VICTREX PEEK coatings are typically used to improve resistance to chemicals, corrosion, abrasion and wear when applied to metal substrates.
