Resilon FAQs
What Is Resilon?
Resilon is a brand family of PTFE based coatings designed to be applied to rubber or plastic substrates. The sole purpose of Resilon is to create the ‘slippiest’ surface possible. Therefore, lowering the coefficient friction value of a surface can remove issues such as sticking or noise/squeaking.
What Is Resilon Used For?
Resilon is in use purely to reduce friction. The PTFE within Resilon coatings reduces sticking and noise issues. Common applications include automotive door seals, where anti-friction in localised areas is paramount.
Our Experience
Resilon offers good flexibility, freeze-release, chemical resistance and anti-squeak characteristics. They are applied via spray application and are ideal for automotive EPDM extrusions as well as temperature sensitive substrates. The flexibility of Resilon® is excellent and in some cases can elongate more than 200%.
Our Approach
There is an increasing demand for the use of non-metallic substrates, particularly in the automotive industry. East Midland Coatings Ltd have a wealth of experience in handling and treatment of such substrates in the Resilon® brand whether it be prototype or mass volume work.
