A waterborne route to PTFE's non-stick, low-friction surface on coated and impregnated substrates. It is applied as a non-stick, low-friction, and chemically resistant coating and is used to impregnate glass fabric, bearings, and other substrates.
▸Non-stick coatings: Forms release coatings on metal and glass-fabric substrates.
▸Low-friction coatings: Reduces friction on bearings and components.
▸Glass-fabric impregnation: Coats woven glass for architectural and release fabrics.
▸Chemical-resistant linings: Provides chemical resistance on coated surfaces.

Full Description
Polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion (CAS 9002-84-0) is an aqueous suspension of fine PTFE particles. It is applied as a non-stick, low-friction, and chemically resistant coating and is used to impregnate glass fabric, bearings, and other substrates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is fluoropolymer the same as Teflon?
Teflon is a brand name; the underlying material here is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, CAS 9002-84-0), one member of the fluoropolymer family. This product is an aqueous PTFE dispersion, not a branded coating.
What is PTFE dispersion used for?
It is used to form non-stick release coatings on metal and glass-fabric, low-friction coatings on bearings and components, chemical-resistant linings, and to impregnate woven glass fabric. It is applied as an aqueous suspension and then dried/sintered.
Is fluoropolymer the same as powder coating?
No. This product is an aqueous dispersion of fine PTFE particles applied as a liquid, whereas powder coating is applied as a dry powder; the chemistry and application methods differ. PTFE is also available in powder form as a separate product.
What is the cost of bulk PTFE dispersion?
Pricing depends on solids content, particle grade, and packaging (pails, drums, or totes). Request a bulk quote with your volume and delivery point for current pricing.
What is the CAS number and HS code for PTFE dispersion?
The polymer is CAS 9002-84-0, classified under HS 3904.61 (polytetrafluoroethylene in primary forms). An SDS and Certificate of Analysis accompany each shipment.
