Enduro® LF10 Coatings

Product catalog summary
Overview
Greene, Tweed’s Enduro™ LF10 Coating is a PTFE-based coating designed to enhance the performance of various manufacturing equipment components, including elastomeric, thermoplastic, and metal parts. It reduces sticking and friction, thereby minimizing particulate generation and extending component life.
Features & Benefits
  • Operates continuously at high temperatures up to 550°F/288°C, suitable for most processes.
  • Exhibits excellent purity, adhesion, and conformality, enhancing process yield.
  • Reduces friction and sticking force, beneficial for dynamic and semi-dynamic applications.
  • Low-temperature deposition allows coating of delicate and temperature-sensitive materials.
  • Converts surfaces from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, improving process efficiency.
Applications
  • Reduces friction for static and dynamic elastomeric seals.
  • Decreases sticking force for seals, including vacuum seals.
  • Applies to plastic and metal components to reduce friction.
  • Converts surface properties from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.
Coating Thickness
Enduro LF10 is applied at the micron level, suitable for both solid and flexible substrates, particularly in low particulation applications.
Performance Data
Graphs indicate a significant reduction in sticking and friction forces on coated Chemraz® 505 AS-214 O-rings compared to uncoated ones, demonstrating the coating's effectiveness in reducing wear and extending component life.
Recommendations
Compatibility tests are recommended before use to ensure suitability for specific applications, especially where failure could result in injury or damage. Regular inspection and replacement programs are advised.

Enduro® LF10 Coatings-1

Improves Component Performance PROVIDES LOW SUCTION AND LOW FRICTION Greene, Tweed's Enduro™ LF10 Coating is a thin conformai, PTFE based coating that can be applied to a variety of components within manufacturing equipment including elastomeric, thermo- plastic or metal components to enhance their performance. Enduro LF10 improves the performance by reducing the sticking force between component interfaces or wear caused by friction, both of which will reduce particulate generation. The coating exhibits excellent adhesion, high purity and excellent conformality to thoroughly cover complex surface features. With deposition at low temperatures, it can be applied to many types of surface materials. For aqueous chemical environments, Enduro LF10 can also render surfaces from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The coatings work well for both static and dynamic applications. FEATURES & BENEFITS • Continuous use at high temperatures equal to PTFE (up to 550°F/288°C) meets the thermal needs of most processes • Excellent purity, adhesion and conformality allows the coating to provide process benefits thus enhancing yield • High conformality enables coating of complex surface features • Friction and sticking force reduction extends lifetime of com- ponents, especially in dynamic and semi-dynamic applications • Deposition occurs at low temperatures allowing coating of delicate structures and temperature sensitive materials • Low friction properties minimize particulate generation between moving components • Changeable surfaces from hydrophilic to hydrophobic enhance process equipment process efficiencies Reduced coefficient of friction for static and dynamic elastomeric seals Reduced sticking force (separation force) for seals including vacuum seals Reduced coefficient of friction for plastic and metal components Conversion of surface property from hydrophilic to hydrophobic Enduro applied to Chemraz seal COATING THICKNESS Enduro LF10 is applied at the micron level for: • Solid substrates • Flexible substrates (elastomers)
