Wear-resistant, anti-adhesive and anti-static surfaces

Tfe-Lok® is a patented process which results in an extremely durable, wear-resistant, antistatic surface. Our electro–chemical-thermal treatments allows us to securely fasten different materials into the prepared surface, a so - called “SNAP-FASTENER EFFECT“. The resulting physical bond ensures a permanent combination of wear-resistance and low friction.

Base materials of Tfe-Lok® surfaces

In principle all base materials that can be improved by galvanization are suitable for Tfe-

Lok® including for most alloys of: steel, copper, nickel, bronze brass,   aluminium and titan.

If you work with a rare alloy, please ask us.

The following chart shows the properties of the Tfe-Lok® 

Tfe-Lok® in various applications

Tfe-Lok® surfaces are used wherever wear & tear -, sticking-, electrostatic-, and adhesive problems appears  in your production machinery

Tfe-Lok® surfaces ensure a smooth manufacturing process and therefore less down-time, maintenance  and lost products.

• Plastic, textile and paper machinery 
• Transportation 
• Food industry 
• Packaging industry 
• Pharmaceutical industry 
• Shaping techniques 
• Tobacco industry

This list is not exhaustive, the range of applications for Tfe-Lok® is almost unlimited. Come to us with your questions. We shall be pleased to check possibilities for applications in your range, whatever the industry, and to submit recommendations. TFE-LOK® treatments are FDA-approved. 

TFE-LOK® in the Plastic, textile and paper machinery

Advantages of Tfe-Lok®

No static charging. Low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance, for example, on roll bodies.

TFE-LOK® in Folding and guiding application in packaging machines

Advantages of Tfe-Lok®

Due to the high wear resistance of Tfe-Lok® treated glide elements, like guiding bars, cam grooves or guide ways, such are ideal for use in a variety of applications.

Food industry

Advantages of Tfe-Lok®

For filling or measuring liquid, doughy or solid food, Tfe-Lok® treated tools are preferable. After Tfe-Lok® treatment, the scraping, galling of rotary valves and pistons is solved.

Pharmaceutical industry

Advantages of Tfe-Lok®

More and more tools and equipment used to fill, transfer, and to pack pharmaceutical products are being Tfe-Lok® processed because of the wear resistance and the anti-adhesive properties of Tfe-Lok® treated surfaces.

TFE-LOK® for the stamping and forming industry

Advantages of Tfe-Lok®

Drawing dies or punches for difficult drawing procedures are predominantly equipped with Tfe-Lok® surfaces.

Thereby we achieve a higher service life. The cold-welding of the tools is solved and as a result the finished products show no more damaged surfaces, nor grooves.

TFE-LOK® in Tobacco industry

Advantages of Tfe-Lok®

In the tobacco processing industry we offer a process variant where we lock Bore-nitride (white graphite) instead of Teflon®.

TFE-LOK® treated parts are accepted in the tobacco-industry .
