A true Co-Deposition, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particles are deposited in a matrix of Nickel plating. This imparts excellent lubricity onto the coated part. PTFE coated articles are used widely throughout industry. They are used to provide wear resistance in valves parts, corrosion resistance in threaded fasteners, and release in plastic molds. PTFE coated articles have been used in various engineering applications due to the built in surface lubrication that they provide.
