I saw this stuff but it does not really say what it is, but defiantly does not appear to be powder coating. Caswell's site is slightly not user friendly to those who do not already know the answers (sorry guys).

My thought were along the lines of a childs slide. If it could be coated and there was PTFE added to the powder then it would be more "slippery" than with just a layer of powder melted onto it. Of course, I do have visions of the scene in Christmas Vacation when they coated the sled.
