Frequently Asked Questions

What non-stick coatings are used on food processing equipment?
PTFE coating (Teflon) is the standard fluoropolymer used for food processing equipment and bakeware where non-stick performance, product release, easier cleaning and food-safe surfaces are the primary requirements. PFA coating is used where stronger chemical resistance or a more robust barrier lining is also needed. Both systems are food-safe and widely accepted for industrial food contact applications.
Can worn bakeware and bakery trays be recoated?
Yes. AST supports both new coating of bakeware and refurbishment of existing trays, pans and bakery equipment where the coating has worn or degraded. Recoating extends the working life of the equipment and avoids the cost of replacement, which is particularly relevant for custom or large-format bakery trays and industrial baking equipment.
What food processing equipment can be non-stick coated?
Common food processing applications include baking trays, bread pans, muffin and pie trays, perforated trays, wire racks, dough hoppers, chutes, rollers, guides, transfer hardware, dairy processing components, fryer baskets and other food contact equipment. AST handles both standard and custom geometries across the food production sector.
Is fluoropolymer coating food safe for industrial food production?
Yes. Fluoropolymer coatings such as PTFE and PFA are inert, non-reactive and do not transfer to food products. They are widely used in industrial food production for bakeware, bakery equipment, dairy processing and other food contact applications. AST uses food-safe fluoropolymer materials across its food processing coating services.
