Fluoropolymer Coating Services in Australia, New Zealand & South East Asia
AST is Chemours' sole licensed industrial fluoropolymer applicator across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. From our Melbourne facility we apply the full Chemours Teflon family (PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE), Syensqo Halar (ECTFE), PPG / Whitford Xylan composite coatings, CONDAT Resigraph graphite-resin (glass manufacturing) and wire-arc-spray metal coatings (dimensional restoration, hard chrome replacement). Each technology below links through to a full technical page — for help choosing between fluoropolymers see our PTFE vs PFA vs ETFE vs ECTFE comparison.

The Chemours Teflon family (PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE) and Syensqo Halar (ECTFE) each suit different service conditions. The table below summarises the practical differences engineers use to choose a system. For a deeper engineering-grade comparison see our full PTFE vs PFA vs ETFE vs ECTFE comparison.
| Coating | Continuous service | Typical DFT | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PTFE (Chemours Teflon) | −190 °C to +260 °C | 25–205 µm | Bakeware, food release, dough handling, rollers, low-friction service |
| PFA (Chemours Teflon) | −240 °C to +260 °C | 50–500 µm | Heavy-duty food contact, vessel linings, pharma, premium release |
| FEP (Chemours Teflon) | up to +200 °C | 25–125 µm | Nonporous release at moderate temperatures, lower cost than PFA |
| ETFE (Chemours Tefzel) | up to +150 °C | 250–2000 µm | Toughest fluoropolymer — valves, spools, diverters, abrasion service |
| ECTFE (Syensqo Halar) | up to +150 °C | 200–2000 µm | Chemical barrier linings — 10–100× better permeation than PTFE |
| Xylan (PPG / Whitford) | up to +260 °C | 25–50 µm | Composite PTFE + PAI dry-film — Thyme Green food release, anti-corrosion fasteners |
