PTFE Coating Services Teflon & Industrial Non-Stick Coating
Industrial PTFE coating services in Huntingdon, UK. We apply PTFE (the material you know as Teflon) as a hard-wearing non-stick coating on metal components up to 2m², at 10 to 30 microns. We manufacture and coat on the same site, so there is no waiting on a third party.
What Is PTFE Coating?
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a fluoropolymer applied to metal and other substrates to create a non-stick, low-friction surface. You'll know it as Teflon, though that is a brand name for the same material, which is why our PTFE coating and Teflon coating services are one and the same.
Industrial PTFE coating is used wherever components need to resist adhesion, reduce friction, or withstand chemical exposure. It handles continuous operating temperatures up to 260°C and gives excellent corrosion resistance.
We provide non-stick coating services across the UK for packaging machinery, food processing equipment, pharmaceutical production lines, and general industrial applications. If your parts stick, drag, or corrode, PTFE coating is usually the answer.
Our PTFE Coating Process
Our PTFE coating process starts with surface preparation (degreasing and grit blasting to key the substrate). We then apply the PTFE coating and cure it at high temperature to bond it permanently to the component. The result is a smooth, durable, non-stick finish that withstands repeated use in demanding industrial environments.
Because we manufacture heating elements and heat seal bands on the same site in Huntingdon, we understand the operating conditions your coated components will face. That knowledge informs how we prepare and apply every coating.

Applications and Industries
Packaging machinery components
Heat seal jaws, forming shoulders, guide rails, and other contact surfaces that need non-stick properties for clean, reliable sealing.
Food processing equipment
Chutes, hoppers, conveyor components, and moulds where product release and easy cleaning matter. PTFE gives a smooth, low-stick surface.
Pharmaceutical equipment
Tablet press tooling, capsule filling components, and mixing equipment where product adhesion causes waste and downtime.
Industrial tooling
Moulds, dies, and fixtures where friction reduction or release properties improve throughput and component life.
Why Choose Our PTFE Coating Service?
We run our PTFE coating UK operation at the same Huntingdon site where we make heating elements and heat seal bands, so you deal with one team for the full job, not two suppliers and two lead times.
Manufacturing and coating under one roof
One team for the full job. We coat our own bands and elements, so we know how a coating has to perform in service.
Fast turnaround
Most coating work is completed within 1-2 weeks of receiving your parts.
Engineers with 25+ years' coating experience
Our team has coated for the packaging, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors for over two decades. They know the applications and the failure modes.
Straight answers
Call us and an engineer picks up. Someone who can tell you what you need, what it'll cost, and when you'll have it.
Frequently Asked Questions About PTFE Coating
What is PTFE coating used for?
PTFE coating creates a non-stick, low-friction surface on metal components. It is used in packaging machinery, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and general industrial applications, anywhere parts need to resist adhesion, reduce friction, or withstand chemical exposure.
Is PTFE coating the same as Teflon?
Yes. Teflon is a brand name owned by Chemours (formerly DuPont) for PTFE coatings. The material is the same, polytetrafluoroethylene. We use the term PTFE because it is the correct technical name, so our PTFE coating and Teflon coating services are identical.
Do you offer non-stick coating services across the UK?
Yes. We are based in Huntingdon and take in components from customers across the UK for PTFE non-stick coating. Send your parts in and we coat and return them, typically within 1-2 weeks.
How thick is PTFE coating?
We apply PTFE coatings from 10 to 30 microns, depending on the application. Thinner coatings suit precision components with tight tolerances. Thicker coatings give more durability for heavy-wear applications.
Can you coat stainless steel with PTFE?
Yes. Stainless steel is one of the most common substrates we coat. We also coat mild steel, aluminium, and other metals. The surface is prepared before coating to ensure proper adhesion.
Is PTFE coating food safe?
Yes. PTFE is inert, non-toxic, and food-contact compliant, which is why it is widely used on food processing and packaging equipment. If you have a specific food-contact application, tell us the requirement and we'll confirm the right coating specification.
What is the minimum order for PTFE coating?
The minimum order value is £250. There is no minimum quantity, so we are happy to coat a single component if that's what you need.
What size components can you PTFE coat?
We can coat components up to 2m² in surface area. If your parts are larger, get in touch and we'll discuss options.
