Halar ECTFE
Halar
Halar ECTFE is a high-quality thermoplastic fluoropolymer made by Solvay Solexis, USA. This coating is chemically very resistant, even at high temperatures (150 °C). It has good non-sticking properties. Kersten Kunststofcoating also applies other fluoropolymers like PTFE, ETFE, FEP and PFA.
Application
The combination of non-sticking properties and excellent corrosionprotection makes Halar ECTFE an extremely efficient coating for:
- Filtration tanks, vessels, pipe systems and valves for storage and transport of very aggressive media.
- Machine parts for instance for the galvanic and semiconductor industries.
- Surfaces requiring a combination of non-sticking and abrasive resistance properties are necessary.
Properties and Benefits
Hose pump
Halar ECTFE is applied by electrostatic powderspray. This means the total thickness of the coating is adjustable. The optimum layer thickness will be chosen for the application concerned.
The most important properties and benefits of Halar ECTFE are:
- Excellent corrosionprotection even in combination with high temperatures.
- Resistant against abrasive media.
- Good non-sticking properties.
- Free of solvents.
- Halar ECTFE is used as a substitute for very expensive alloys. If Halar ECTFE is applied to carbon steel or a standard stainless steel, the corrosionprotection is the same or even better than that of very expensive alloys.
- Halar ECTFE can be mechanical-shaped after the coating procedure.
- Durable.
