I will never forget how, whenever Walt Disney announced that it would be showing this classic, I could hardly contain myself until the day arrived.

Solving Engineering Challenges with Functional Coatings

Teflon™ and other functional coatings can solve design problems including excessive wear, sticking, noise, and corrosion.
Teflon, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is one of the most versatile industrial coatings available today. Best known for its nonstick properties, Teflon offers an extremely low coefficient of friction, chemical inertness, and excellent dielectric stability. Far more than a product for cookware, Teflon’s non-stick properties can be used to solve a variety of design challenges, including preventing the buildup of contaminants, corrosion and bacteria, and reducing friction or sticking between parts that come into contact. It can also be used as an ingredient in heavy-wear, high-load applications.
