The Various Uses Of Teflon - Piedmont Plastics

Construction

Whether for bridges, pipelines, or buildings, Teflon® plays a significant role in promoting exceptional reliability and durability when dealing with heavy loads, shocks, and extreme weather. Teflon®-coated screws repel water and oil and are resistant to corrosion. With Teflon®’s reduced friction, screws also drive more easily into multiple surfaces with less wear and tear on both the screw and the surface. To help minimize stress on steelwork construction, Teflon® coatings improve the function of expansion joints, slide bearings, gaskets, and bridge bearings. It can also be used as pipe insulation to prevent thermal bridging. Teflon® can even be coated onto building glass which gives it a significantly longer life and makes it easier to clean.
