Applications of Fluoropolymers

Fluoropolymers have a wide range of applications in many fields due to their unique properties, such as chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, low coefficient of friction, and low flammability. The following is the relevant introduction:

Chemical & Manufacturing. Fluoropolymers such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Copolymer) and PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) are commonly used in these fields for the production of reaction vessels, tanks, valves, pump fittings, seals, pipes, coatings, etc.

Electronic Information Industry. Fluoropolymer films are used for cable insulation, producing very little smoke when burned due to their excellent insulating properties and thermal stability. Construction Industry. Fluoropolymers are used in products such as heat-resistant cables, chemical-resistant linings, gaskets, pipes, filters, valves, pumps and electronic components, cladding materials, and weather-resistant films.

High-end functional fabrics. Fluoropolymers are used in outdoor coated fabrics, bulletproof vest materials, tire and seal manufacturing areas, and air purifier filters.

Medical devices, aviation and aerospace. Fluoropolymers are also key materials in these fields, such as non-stick coatings and positive binders.

Specialty Applications. Such as heat shrink tubing for covering and encapsulating components such as temperature sensors and medical devices.

In addition, fluoropolymers are used in mold release agents, can linings, photovoltaic backsheets, decorative and protective films, and pharmaceutical blister packs.
