What is Halar coating?
Halar® Coating Process Halar® / ECTFE Coatings resist a wide variety of corrosive chemicals and organic solvents, including strong acids, chlorine, and aqueous caustics making them ideal for vessels and process equipment for many industries including the petrochemical industry.
Why halar coating is used?
Halar is typically used as an industrial coating. This means that it is applied to other products to give them protection and make them more durable. In particular, it is used to coat products that may be exposed to high amounts of friction, because Halar will minimize the amount of wear that the products suffer.
What is halar material?
Halar® ECTFE is a partially fluorinated semi-crystalline polymer offering a unique combination of properties for highly demanding industries. It is widely used in anti-corrosion applications as a lining or in self-supporting constructions (piping).
What is ECTFE coating?
ECTFE is an engineering thermoplastic fluoropolymer used as a material for coating applications. It is known under the trade name HALAR®. ECTFE coatings are often chosen for applications where the greatest chemical resistance is required, including operating at high temperatures.
Is halar a Teflon?
Halar® can be applied in a much thicker coating than Teflon™. Typical coatings range from 5 to 60 mils (0.005” to 0.06”) in thickness, making them several times thicker than a Teflon™ coating. However, the thickness of a Halar® coating is limited by the thermal mass of the object being coated.
Is halar FDA approved?
Halar® coatings provide good electrical properties, a broad use temperature range from cryogenic to 300°F (150°C), meets the requirements of UL-94V-O vertical flame test in thicknesses as low as 7 mils (0.18mm) and in some cases meets USP Class VI and FDA food contact (21 CFR) requirements.
What is ECTFE material?
Plastic Material Properties. ECTFE (ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene) is stronger, stiffer, and more dimensionally stable than many other fluoropolymers. It exhibits excellent electrical properties, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and low moisture absorption.
What is Ectfe material?
Is ECTFE a Pfas?
ECTFE and ETFE are both partially fluorinated polymers. Their chemical difference resides in the chlorine atoms in ECTFE, which are substituted by a fluorine atom in the structure of ETFE.
