INFORMATION
This is not the Teflon used in coating skillets.
This coating is not paint. It is military specified high
PTFE Teflon and molybdenum disulfide in a thermally cured,
phenolic-epoxy polymer base. This coating is the hardest,
most durable, chemical and heat resistant thermally cured
finish available. It will permanently bond to the surface
to form a barrier to acids, oils, paint remover, powder
solvents, bore cleaners and other strong industrial solvents.
The extremely low curing temperature (300-350 degrees
F) prevents possible damage to parts during the curing
process.
Developed specifically for firearms used
by Naval Special Warfare (SEALS) and the Marine Corps
Reconnaissance Units to their specifications and provides
a surface finish with optimum corrosion protection, abrasion
resistance, and lubricity.
Passed numerous military tests including
resistance to corrosion and fluids (60 days in sea water,
jet fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid and paint thinner just
to name a few), thermal stability (500 to -58 degrees
Fahrenheit), impact resistance and abrasion resistance.
Keep in mind, this is a finish, so it is
possible to scratch it. But, any coated or finished watch
can be scratched. However, this teflon polymer does not
scratch easy (remember the miliitary uses it) and if you
do scratch the watch after this coating, you are also
taking metal with the coating, and the watch would have
been scratched anyway.
Teflon polymer coating process is done by
a former RECON Marine. He was issued weapons with this same
coating and was trained in firearm refinishing and applied
this coating to weapons while in the US military.
COLORS
Colors currently available are satin black,
flat black, satin OD green, flat OD green, and desert
tan.
PRICE
Parts to be teflon coated are cleaned, bead
blasted (120 mesh aluminum oxide at 40 pounds of pressure)
and cleaned again to insure an even, durable tefon polymer
coating. The price to coat a watch case, case back, crown
and rotating ring (like the Seiko in the photos) is $195
plus return shipping. Other brands and/or types of watches
could be higher.
