What is nickel PTFE coating?
What is nickel PTFE coating?
Nickel PTFE Coating is a co-deposition process of Electroless Nickel combined with PTFE particles. Ni-PTFE treatment includes 20 to 30% of PTFE (by volume); the deposit has excellent release characteristics and uniform particle incorporation.
Does Teflon have nickel in it?
A Nye-Tef™ coating is an electroless nickel PTFE composite coating that consists of an autocatalytic alloy applied nickel/phosphorus matrix containing submicronic particles of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). The PTFE, while soft in its natural form, becomes exceptionally durable when suspended in the nickel matrix.
Can Teflon be electroplated?
You can find a number of applications for electroless nickel plating with Teflon. Primarily, it can be used for the military, aerospace, and oil & gas industries due to its low coefficient of friction and high-temperature breakdown of 650°F.
What is electroless nickel plating used for?
Electroless nickel plating are used to provide protection from wear and abrasion, resistance against corrosion, and add hardness to parts of all conditions. It’s commonly used in coatings applications in engineering, aerospace, oil and gas, construction, electronics and several others.
What is the difference between electroplating and electroless plating?
So, what IS the difference between electro plating and electroless plating? The simple answer is that electro-plating uses electricity in the process of transferring a deposit to a substrate while electroless plating utilizes an aqueous solution and no electricity to transfer the deposit.
Which is the need for electroless plating?
Electroless plating has many industrial applications, from merely decorative to the prevention of corrosion and wear. It can even be used to coat individual grains of powdered materials, with arbitrarily small size. It can also be used to create composite coatings, by suspending suitable powders in the bath.
What is Lubricoat?
One of the Cadillac coatings offered by Progress For Industry, Inc. is Lubricoat, an Electroless Nickel with Teflon plating selection. This chemical makeup of nickel, phosphorous, Teflon, and lubricity-inducing polymers, aid in the release of plastic from the mold component making it a favorite in the molding industry.
What can you tell me about electroless nickel?

Why to use electroless nickel plating?
Electroless nickel plating are used to provide protection from wear and abrasion, resistance against corrosion, and add hardness to parts of all conditions. It’s commonly used in coatings applications in engineering, aerospace, oil and gas, construction, electronics and several others.
What is involved in electroless nickel plating?
Electroless nickel-phosphorus plating is a chemical process that deposits an even layer of nickel – phosphorus alloy on the surface of a solid substrate, like metal or plastic. The process involves dipping the substrate in a water solution containing nickel salt and a phosphorus-containing reducing agent, usually a hypophosphite salt.
How does electroless plating work?
Electroless Plating. Electroless nickel (EN) plating is a chemical reduction process which depends upon the catalytic reduction process of nickel ions in an aqueous solution (containing a chemical reducing agent) and the subsequent deposition of nickel metal without the use of electrical energy.
