Fluoropolymers Market: Growth and Characteristics

Fluoroelastomer Specialists

A polymer that exhibit strong carbon-fluorine bond is called as a fluoropolymer. Fluoropolymer is also known as fluorine polymer. High resistance to solvents, acids and bases are some of the important characteristics of fluoropolymers. Fluoropolymers demonstrate low coefficient of friction compared with other polymers, they are inert substances and can withstand high temperatures. They are usually applied to manufactured metal parts by electrostatic powder coating, or attached in large sheets with epoxy to line the interior of large metal and non-metal containers. Some of the fluoropolymers are thermosets while others are thermoplastics. Fluoropolymers are widely used in numerous applications in host of industries owing their excellent properties such as non-adhesive, low friction, chemical and weather resistance, etc.
