Why Use Fluoropolymers? 

Most of the useful properties of fluoropolymers are due to fluorine, the most electro-negative element 

and the most reactive non-metal. Its atomic radius is the smallest next to hydrogen, and it forms 

extremely strong bonds with other elements. When reacted with carbon in fluoropolymers, the 

extremely strong, tight bond produces an extraordinary combination of properties. 

Extraordinary Properties 

• Chemically inert • Nontoxic 

• Nonwetting • Nonstick 

• Low Coefficient of Friction • Highly fire resistant 

• Low dielectric constant • High temperature ratings 

Solving Problems and Reducing Cost 

This unrivalled combination of properties frequently makes fluoropolymers the product of choice when metals 

and less expensive plastics fail or where long term reliability is required. Fluoropolymers are often used to 

solve existing problems or to develop new technology. Despite a relatively high cost, fluoropolymers have 

frequently been used to substantially reduce overall system cost. 

In many cases, fluoropolymers provide solutions when nothing else works. For example: 

• Fluoropolymer insulated plenum wiring eliminates the need for expensive metal conduit. 

• Fluoropolymer insulated wire reduces weight in airplane wiring. 

• Fluoropolymer lined industrial equipment has substantially lengthened equipment life. 

Diverse Uses 

Fluoroproducts are used in virtually every manufacturing industry and in many service industries. They are 

woven into our way of life from PTFE coated frying pans and oil additives to fabric-covered sports stadiums, 

computer hook-up wire, aircraft wire, fire alarm wire, under-hood car wire, down-hole oil well wire, plus seals 

and bearings for valves, pumps, and other industrial equipment. New needs and applications are constantly 

being uncovered.

KEY INDUSTRY NOTES: 

1 Metals Coil coating Why Coat? – Fluoropolymer coatings can transform any metallic surface to those of a fluoropolymer. 

2 Rubbers Continuous belt Product Types – By altering the binder (adhesive) resin, cures can be designed that will not harm 

3 Plastics Ceramic coating temperature sensitive substrates, including plastics, wood, and even paper. 

4 Ceramics Dispersion coating Product Size –Tiny valve seats to 50 ft. long rocket casings can be successfully coated. 

5 Dip spin coating Thousands of small fasteners can be coated at once using dip‐spin techniques. 

6 Extrusion coating Custom Coaters are located throughout the US, who can do from one to millions of parts as the 

7 Electrostatic powder application demands. Freight costs tend to limit the trading area. 

8 Flame coating Coatings – The market tends to be served by about 50 formulae, but hundreds of materials are 

9 Fluidized bed commercially available for special applications. 

10 Tumble coating The Process consists of Cleaning, Coating, and Curing. The choice of how to do each is governed by the 

11 Electrostatic liquid needs of the specific application and may vary widely.

Processors 

World's largest supplier of contract electron beam irradiation of PTFE scrap or offspec 

virgin materials. After irradiation, PTFE can be micronized into a fine powder. 

Micronized PTFE is used as an additive in inks, coatings, lubricants, and 

thermoplastics to improve rub resistance, lubrication and other properties. 

PVDF, ETFE, and ECTFE are often crosslinked by electron beam irradiation to 

improve the physical properties of tubing, wire jacketing, and molded parts. 

For over 45 years, Enflo has been a processor of PTFE resins into basic shapes. 

These include: molded sheets, skived film up to 72” wide, slit tapes, extruded rods, 

molded rods, extruded tubing, molded cylinders, & custom-fabricated parts. 

Pressure sensitive & etching upon request. Available in virgin reprocessed & 

Enflon®-filled PTFE. Enflo Corporation services U.S. customers while Enflo 

Canada Ltd. services Canada and international. 

Processor of PTFE basic shapes and custom-engineered profiles, guiderails, 

wearstrips, and machined parts. Surf Chemical is part of an American 

manufacturing organization that produces the widest variety and sizes of PTFE 

basic shapes in North America (plate, sheet, tape, rod, tubing, profiles, mechanical 

grade PTFE, glass-filled PTFE and specialty compound filled PTFE). 

Trademarks: Fluoro-Plastics, Surf Chemical, FluoroMar, Econ-O-Lon,

Fluorotherm manufactures Corrosion resistant and Ultrapure PTFE, TFE, FEP, 

PFA, MFA, tubing, rod, Heat Exchangers, Immersion heating and cooling coils, and 

extruded custom machined plastics. Flurotherm continuously endeavors to research 

and develop new methods to adapt tube geometries to new demanding 

applications.
