At Peratex, we provide complete industrial surface solutions, specialising in sandblasting, Teflon™ coating, and nylon coating. From preparing raw surfaces through to applying high-performance protective finishes, we handle every stage in-house to ensure quality, durability, and consistency. Whether it’s a small precision component or large industrial equipment, our team delivers reliable results with no size limitations and fast turnaround times.
Small Scale Sandblasting
We specialize in sandblasting small components with accuracy and care, stripping away rust, paint, and buildup without damaging the material. Perfect for detailed parts that require a clean surface before coating or refurbishment.
We cater for smaller items like automotive parts, valves, seals, brackets, fittings and food grade components.
Large Scale Sandblasting
Our large-scale sandblasting service is designed for heavy-duty industrial parts and equipment. From Machinery component Rollers & conveyor parts, Steel frames & fabricated parts to larger items like tanks, we deliver a thorough, even blast that restores surfaces and prepares them for long-lasting protective coatings.
Teflon™ Coatings
Peratex offers a range of Teflon™ coatings that can be used on a variety of substrates including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, steel alloys, brass, and magnesium, as well as non-metallics such as glass, fiberglass, some rubber, and plastics. Teflon™ coatings spray on like paint and bake to a tough, inert finish.
PTFE
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) nonstick coatings are a two-coat (primer/topcoat) system. These products have the highest operating temperature of any fluoroplastic (260°C/500°F), an extremely low coefficient of friction, good abrasion resistance, and good chemical resistance. PTFE is available only in water-based liquid form.
Industries Typically Used For:
- Commercial Bakeware
- Food Processing
- Footwear
- Laundry
- Packaging
- Lighting
- Office Automation
FEP
FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer) nonstick coatings melt and flow during baking to provide nonporous films. These Teflon™ coatings provide excellent chemical resistance. In addition to low friction, FEP coatings have excellent nonstick properties. Maximum use temperature is 204°C/400°F. FEP is available in water-based liquid and powder forms.
Industries Typically Used For:
- Food Processing
- Chemical Processing
- Packaging
- Footwear
- Textiles
PFA
Like FEP, PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) nonstick coatings melt and flow during baking to provide nonporous films. PFA offers the additional benefits of higher continuous use temperature (260°C/500°F), film thicknesses up to 1,000 micrometers (40 mils), and greater toughness than PTFE or FEP. This combination of properties makes PFA an excellent choice for a wide variety of uses, especially those involving chemical resistance. PFA is available in both water-based liquid and powder forms.
Industries Typically Used For:
- Copiers
- Chemical Processing
- Moulds
- Laundry Dryers
Nylon
Nylon is an exceptionally hardwearing coating that looks like powder coating but is actually a high molecular weight thermoplastic polymer, which is melted on. It provides superior abrasion, and wear/impact resistance when compared to typical polyester powder coating.
Nylon can adhere to most substrates including most metals, steel (carbon, stainless, chrome plated, galvanized), aluminium (sheet, bar, or rod, many alloys, foil, anodized or chromate treated), copper, brass, bronze, red brass, and other alloys.
Benefits of Nylon Coating
There are many benefits of Nylon coatings, these include:
- Manufactured from renewable resources.
- Non-toxic.
- Excellent wear characteristics including outstanding abrasion resistance, very high impact resistance, and a very low friction coefficient.
- Good resistance to weathering.
- Good chemical resistance especially to solvents.
- Good corrosion resistance.
- Good thermal insulation, ideal for warm to touch applications.
- Excellent flexibility at low temperatures
- High vibration absorbing capacity.
- Smooth low friction surface, and
- Low moisture pickup.
Before & Afters
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PTFE, PFA, and FEP?
PTFE is known for its exceptional non-stick and low-friction properties, PFA offers enhanced durability and the ability to form thicker protective coatings, while FEP provides a smooth finish with excellent release, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation characteristics. The best choice depends on the specific requirements of the application.
Can you coat complex shapes and fabricated components?
Yes. Our coating processes can be applied to a wide range of component sizes and shapes, including fabricated assemblies, machine parts, rollers, baskets, guards, and custom-engineered components.
Can coatings be applied to stainless steel?
Yes. Many of our coating systems can be applied to stainless steel as well as mild steel, aluminium, cast iron, and other metal substrates. Suitability depends on the application and coating selected.
What are the operating temperature ranges of your coatings?
Our coatings are designed for high-performance industrial environments with the following continuous operating temperature capabilities:
- PTFE and PFA coatings: up to 260°C
- FEP coatings: up to 215°C
- Nylon 11 coatings: up to 170°C
These temperature ratings make them suitable for a wide range of demanding applications, from food processing and chemical handling to heavy industrial and engineering environments. The most suitable coating will depend on your specific operating conditions and performance requirements.
What is the coating process?
Our process here at Peratex is designed to ensure strong adhesion and long-term performance. First, the substrate is prepared by baking it to remove oils, contaminants, and any previous coatings. The surface is then abrasive blasted to create an ideal profile for coating adhesion.
If required, components may also be remachined or reworked before coating. Once preparation is complete, the coating is applied and then cured (baked) to fully bond and harden the finish, ensuring a durable and high-performance result.
