PTFE Coating That Is TOO Good


Manufacturing , Medical Device
03/31/2014

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 5

I first realized how well adhered the PTFE was to the wire when I had to remove the coating from a short section of wire to allow for welding of a ring. With the traditional green coating, this was easy to do. We had to abandon the AP wire for this purpose because we couldn't remove the coating sufficiently to get good welds. I have used their mandrels exclusively ever since.

Strengths: PTFE Coated Wire

Needs to improve: none

We defer to Applied Plastics for their expertise in PTFE coating as their reputation precedes them. High quality, reliable and extremely durable, they are an easy choice. Customer service is great and always provides competitive pricing. We actually don't deal with them often as the coating minimizes any wear and tear on our machinery. High quality products and team.

Strengths: product quality and durability, expert team, turn around time, customer service

The *BEST* PTFE Coating


R & D / Engineering , Medical Device
03/18/2014

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 5

Applied Plastics provides the best PTFE coating for wire, tube and pretty much everything else. Their coating, usually grey, is MUCH more durable than the green stuff and is at least as lubricious. I only go to AP for Teflon coating, and have purchased everything from catheter components to manufacturing fixtures from them. Customer service is excellent, and the finished product is even better.

Strengths: PTFE Caoting

Needs to improve: not a thing

WAAAAAY Better Than the Green Stuff


R & D / Engineering , Medical Device
03/20/2014

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 5

I get all of my PTFE coated mandrels here, as it stays on the mandrel and doesn't flake off like the green stuff. These mandrels release from the catheter bonds and have longer life than your standard green mandrels. Save yourself the headache and get your mandrels here. I have also had them coat some centerless ground mandrels for production use with great results.

Strengths: PTFE coating

Great PTFE Coating/Process

Speed 5 / Price 4 / Quality 5

Applied Plastics has a PTFE coating/process which is second to none. It's extremely durable. I've used their coating on both products and manufacturing tooling. The manufacturing tooling lasts and lasts. We have a maintenance schedule for replacement of the tooling that we keep extending as to the PTFE coatings don't appear to wear. Great Stuff

Strengths: Awesome PTFE coating.

Strengths: PTFE coating capabilities, technical knowledge and support

Needs to improve: Pricing, Lead time
