I need to know if there is a method out there to place the PTFE molecules within the polymer network and substrate of a crosslinked thermosetting silicon after it has been cured. Could I use a Vaccum? or Shoot the PTFE at the surface at a high velocity? how can I mechanically bond this stuff to my silicon surface? Thanks.....

In order to bond PTFE to silicone, you must etch the PTFE chemically to prepare the surface for bonding using a sodium complex. We manufacture etched PTFE. If you would like a quotation, you can email the sales department at texloc@texloc.com. Regards Jarod www.texloc.com

You can use the PTFE Film under high temperaure, this way may be your first choice. or etched the surface of the Silicone.
