Fluoropolymer properties:

– Chemical resistance

They have a very high resistance to chemicals and solvents and can thus be used in a wide range of vessels, linings & seals or to contain or store hazardous materials.

– Electrical resistance

This makes them excellent insulators for electrical wiring.

– High-Temperature resistance

The typical range of temperatures that Fluoropolymers cover ranges from -200 to +260 degrees Celsius

– Non-stick 

The compound shed's a molecule every time something touches the material.

– Non-toxic

Their smooth surfaces are non-microbial, which means that they are used in food, beverage, medical & pharmaceutical applications.
