WHAT MAKES PORZELACK SUPER SEAL SPECIAL

Posted by PETER PORZELACK on

Teflon was discovered by accident in 1938, wow that's along time ago..

but did you know it is used in this way today..

.

It is often found in ski bindings as a non-mechanical (anti-friction device)
It can be stretched to contain small pores of varying sizes and is then placed between fabric layers to make a waterproof, breathable fabric in outdoor apparel.


It is used widely as a fabric protector to repel stains on formal school-wear, like uniform blazers.


It is used as a film interface patch for sports and medical applications, featuring a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, which is installed in strategic high friction areas of footwear, insoles, ankle-foot orthosis, and other medical devices to prevent and relieve friction-induced blisters, calluses and foot ulceration


Powdered TEFLON is used in pyrotechnic compositions as an oxidizer with powdered metals such as aluminium and magnesium. Upon ignition, these mixtures form carbonaceous soot and the corresponding metal fluoride, and release large amounts of heat. They are used in infrared decoy flares and as igniters for solid-fuel rocket propellants.

Certain types of bullets are coated with TEFLON to reduce wear on the rifling of firearms that uncoated projectiles would cause.

Its high corrosion resistance makes TEFLON useful in laboratory environments, where it is used for lining containers, as a coating for magnetic stirrers, and as tubing for highly corrosive chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid, which will dissolve glass containers. It is used in containers for storing fluoroantimonic acid, a super acid.

TEFLON tubes are used in gas-gas heat ex changers in gas cleaning of waste incinerators. Unit power capacity is typically several megawatts.

TEFLON is widely used as a thread seal tape in plumbing applications, largely replacing paste thread dope.


TEFLON membrane filters are among the most efficient industrial air filters.

TEFLON-coated filters are often used in dust collection systems to collect particulate matter from air streams in applications involving high temperatures and high particulate loads such as coal-fired power plants, cement production and steel foundries.


Many bicycle lubricants and greases contain TEFLON and are used on chains and other moving parts subjected to frictional forces (such as hub bearings).


TEFLON is widely used as a non-stick coating for food processing equipment dough hoppers, mixing bowls, conveyor systems, rollers, and chutes. TEFLON can also be reinforced where abrasion is present – for equipment processing seeded or grainy dough for example.

Still today they are finding new ways to use TEFLON.. Most important it is used to reduce corrosion. 

Try Porzelack Super Seal with Teflon next time you want a High Gloss Polish and protection..As my good friend Ivan does on this beautiful XY K Code..
