Industrial Non-stick coating

Non-Stick coatings prevent a variety of products from sticking to machinery during the manufacturing process.

Non-Stick Coating

Non-stick coatings are used across many industries to provide a low-friction surface that resists sticking, abrasion, and wear. These unique properties allow for enhanced product performance and efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and improved user experience. From heavy machinery to domestic appliances, these coatings can be applied to various metals such as steel, aluminium and brass.

Common uses and industries

Non-stick coatings are specially formulated to withstand repeated use within extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, and high levels of wear and tear, making them ideal for use in a wide range of industrial applications. Rubber and plastic moulds will see enhanced efficiency thanks to improved product release and reduced cleaning time, whilst machinery in high speed environments (such as weighing and bagging machines) will see a better product flow.

Common Uses
  • Conveyor belts
  • Commercial bakeware
  • Weigh pans
  • Chutes
  • Heat Seal Bars
  • Moulds
Industries
  • Food Manufacturing
  • Medical and Pharmaceutical
  • Aerospace and Automotive
  • Electronics and Technology
  • Printing and Packaging
 

Products we use non stick coatings for

There are a number of materials that can be used when applying a non-stick coating, each with unique strengths and applications. Choosing the right non-stick coating means that your surface could be better equipped to improve production line performance, product hygiene, and more.

Products we use include; Teflon, Xylan, PTFE, PFA, FEP.

Performance properties

Application of our non-stick coatings not only make your parts easy to clean but reduce down time and improve hygiene, flow rate and product release. They are suitable for most environments with operating temperatures of -70°c to 300°c and our range of moisture and oven cure systems means we can apply non-stick coatings to a variety of substrates. These systems are operated regularly and the application process can be completed in ten working days.

Properties include:
  • Non-stick
  • Low Friction
  • Cryogenically Stable
 
  • Chemical Resistance
  • Hydrophobic
  • Heat Resistance

Applying Non-Stick Spray Coatings

Non-stick coatings are applied via the basic process below. There are many technical details that accompany each job and when recommending a specification we consider the end use, part size, operating temperature and many other factors but no matter what these considerations are we take each part through the following cycle:

Grit Blast

To create an adequate key for coating adhesion each part we spray is grit blasted using an aluminium oxide sand.

Coating

Using a unique job sheet each part is sprayed to the outlined specification.

Curing
Finally the coated part goes through the required oven cure cycle, which can include taking the part up to 400C.

Non-Stick Coating FAQs

Industrial non-stick coatings are used to prevent materials from adhering to surfaces during manufacturing and processing. They create a low-friction barrier that improves product release, reduces build-up, and minimises downtime caused by cleaning, blockages, or product waste.

Non-stick coatings work by creating a low-friction surface with minimal adhesive forces. Fluoropolymer-based coatings (such as PTFE, PFA, FEP, and ETFE) have molecular structures that resist bonding, meaning materials cannot easily grip or adhere to the surface.

This lack of adhesion allows products to release cleanly, even under heat, pressure, or repeated contact.

Marcote primarily works with fluoropolymer-based non-stick systems, including:

These materials are selected based on temperature, wear, hygiene requirements, and the type of product being processed. In some applications, ceramic-based systems may also be considered where durability is prioritised over ultra-low friction.PFA

Non-stick coatings are widely used in industries where sticking causes waste, inefficiency, or hygiene issues, including:

Any process involving sticky, viscous, or heat-sensitive materials can benefit.

Non-stick coatings are commonly applied to:

  • Baking trays and moulds

  • Conveyor belts and rollers

  • Cutting blades and wires

  • Chutes, hoppers, and guides

  • Heat seal bars

  • Tooling and mould components

Marcote can coat both individual parts and larger production equipment.

The lifespan of a non-stick coating depends on:

  • Operating environment

  • Temperature and mechanical stress

  • Cleaning methods

  • Frequency of use

In controlled production environments, coatings can last for years. In harsher applications, they may require periodic refurbishment. Where performance degrades, components can often be stripped and re-coated to extend service life.

Yes. Marcote supplies food-safe non-stick coatings suitable for food contact applications where required. These coatings create smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces that reduce residue build-up, improve hygiene, and help manufacturers meet sanitation and compliance standards.
