Springs Need Fluorine Coating

I have a blue print of a spring made out of music wire that requires fluorine coating. The spring is used as a console door stopper. Need info very fast.

When good slang goes bad. I don't think there is any such coating. My absolutely wild guess is that they want a Teflon-like coating, and that the "fluoro" syllable was the only one retained as the description gradually got more corrupted by people who didn't know what they were trying to repeat. Don't let you and I do the same. Ask the customer what they need.
