How can non-stick coatings help in reducing down-time?

A typical question we get on our non-stick coatings is how they can help in production. Although there are several areas where nonstick coatings can be useful, maintenance and clean-up are two of the areas we hear most of its success stories.
Non-stick coatings are very easy to clean and stay clean longer. We see a reduction in downtime or clean-up because of this. Using a non-stick coating on a part such as an ink pan in packaging, can provide a 50% decrease in the clean up time when dealing with an ink or adhesive. In the same way, using a non-stick coating on something like a food mold in food processing can cut costs and time in maintenance because these parts can be cleaned on the machine and during processing. Allowing for production to continue running without removing equipment, or spending a longer length of time cleaning the parts.
