Automotive Industry
Fluoropolymer coatings have been used in the automotive industry in a long term, mainly as the surface treatment for mass-produced parts to enhance the surface properties of components e.g.:
Dry lubrication (with a defined coefficient of friction) :
- Corrosion resistance
- Electrical non-conductivity
- Resistance to chemicals (e.g. fuel)
- Non-stick function
- Avoid unpleasant sounds – e.g. creaking
- Non-wettability

Typical applications include:
- bolts, nuts, connecting material
- springs
- parts of locks, window and door mechanisms
- hinges
- components of safety belts
- steering column
- grooved shaft
- chassis Parts
- guides for roof windows
- suctions
- door hinges
- steering rod parts
- lock mechanism parts
- core used for headrest production
- shock absorber
- welding mirror
