Fluoropolymer Films Offer Chemical Resistance, Heat Resistance, Water Absorption, Weather Resistance, and Electrical Characteristics

Fluoropolymer films offer chemical resistance, transparency, weather resistance, heat resistance, water absorption, electrical characteristics amongst others in several industrial processes. The film is very hard and durable with good chemical and mechanical properties. Its unique characteristics have made it a popular selection for applications in a wide range of industries. In fact, it is one of the most common man-made substances and is extensively used in a huge variety of industries.

The uses of fluoropolymer films in the U.S. are so varied that they can be understood only by looking at the diverse applications of these materials. They are a perfect solution for many applications that require corrosion resistance. These materials are highly effective corrosion protectors; however, they also possess a high degree of thermal conductivity which makes them an excellent choice for high temperature applications. Because of their high degree of conductivity, fluoropolymer films can be used for high temperature Polypropylene (PP) pipe insulation. In the automotive sector, the films are used in e-powertrain components such as motors, inverters, and battery packs as their performance and safety are also more sensitive to temperature increases.

Fluoropolymer films are also an excellent choice for use in the manufacturing of protective coatings for machinery such as the doors and windows of cars. These films can also be used to strengthen the structural integrity of structures. They can also reduce the occurrence of stress cracking in a variety of nonmetallic materials such as composites and rubber insulating materials. As mentioned earlier, a variety of fluoropolymer can be utilized for enhancing a range of electro-optical applications including illuminating test chambers, fiber optic cables, architectural metalwork and mechanical seals. Because of their inherent chemical resistance and electrical insulating properties, fluoropolymer films are well suited for use in a wide range of manufacturing processes.
