Claims
- 1. A coated equipment part, comprising:
an equipment part; and, a non-stick coating applied to at least a portion of a surface of the part.
- 2. The coated part of claim 1, wherein the coating comprises a first layer containing a fluoropolymer based material.
- 3. The coated part of claim 2, wherein the first layer comprises a first color and the coating further comprises a second layer containing a fluoropolymer based material having a second color, the first layer being closer to the surface of the part relative to the second layer, and further wherein the first color contrasts with the second color.
- 4. The coated part of claim 3, wherein the first layer further comprises a first pigment.
- 5. The coated part of claim 3, wherein the second layer further comprises a second pigment.
- 6. The coated part of claim 3, wherein the first layer further comprises a first pigment and the second layer comprises a second pigment.
- 7. The coated part of claim 5, wherein the coating further comprises a top coat adjacent the colored layer.
- 8. The coated part of claim 7, wherein the top coat is clear.
- 9. The coated part of claim 7, wherein the preferred total thickness of the coating is between about 015 and 025 mils.
- 10. The coated part of claim 5, wherein the second pigment is blue.
- 11. A method of coating a part, comprising:
roughing a portion of a surface of the part that is to be coated; applying a primer coating to the part; heating the primer coating and part; applying at least one intermediate coating to the primer coating; and, heating the part.
- 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising masking the areas of the substrate that are not to be coated.
- 13. The method of claim 11, further comprising preheating the part prior to applying the primer coating.
- 14. The method of claim 11, further including applying a top coating to the at least one intermediate coating.
- 15. The method of claim 11, wherein roughing the surface of the part includes a grit blast with an 80-grit aluminum oxide.
- 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the primer coating, at least one intermediate coating and the top coating are a fluoropolymer based coatings.
- 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one intermediate coating further includes a pigment coloring the at least one intermediate coating.
- 18. The method of claim 11, wherein preheating includes preheating the part at about 560° F. for about 15 minutes.
- 19. The method of claim 11, wherein heating the primer coating and part includes heating the part at a temperature range of about 560° F. to about 500° F. for about 5 minutes.
- 20. The method of claim 11, wherein heating the part includes heating at about 500° F. for about 15 minutes.
- 21. The method of claim 11, wherein the resultant thickness of the primer coating, at least one intermediate coating and top coating is about 15 to about 25 mils.
- 22. A coating applied to a chemical mechanical polishing equipment component, the coating comprising a fluoropolymer based material.
- 23. The coating of claim 22, further comprising a primer layer adjacent the component, an intermediate layer adjacent the primer layer, and a top layer adjacent the intermediate layer.
- 24. The coating of claim 23, wherein one or more of the primer, intermediate, or top layers contains a pigment.
- 25. The coating of claim 22, wherein the fluoropolymer is at least one of a PFA, FEP, ETFE or ECTFE.
- 26. The coating of claim 22, wherein the tooling element is a rotating polishing head.
- 27. The coating of claim 22, wherein the tooling element is a clamp.
