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.

Cleaning Roller Gear OVERVIEW • 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.
