Type
- FluoroGrip® – E fluoropolymer films and linings are manufactured from ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene. This material offers the outstanding performance of a fluoropolymerfilm over a temperature range from cryogenic -200°C (-328°F) to 164°C (325°F), depending upon adhesive used.
- FluoroGrip® – E film provides the highest abrasion resistance of any fluoropolymer film available. This film has superior chemical resistance and very high tensile strength and flexural modulus.
Uses
- FluoroGrip® – E films offer low surface energy, making them an excellent choice for release applications such as tanks and hoppers where both abrasion resistance and low surface energy is desirable. Variety of thicknesses and abrasion resistance make it an excellent material for coil coating applications.
- The combination of heat stability, abrasion resistance, low surface energy and barrier properties provides physical performance especially suited for material handling equipment for dry goods and service conditions where abrasion and chemical and temperature resistance is required.
- Single-side modification makes the material suitable as a weldable lining when low surface energy is demanded. Double-sided treatment is especially useful when installations require seams, overlaps or the application of chemical resistant coatings or top toppings.
- The double-sided modification makes it an ideal material for pipe wraps and tapes and immersion linings. The modification also creates a superior surface for use as a chemical and temperature resistant lining and paint replacement film and lining in abrasive high temperature and chemical applications.
Performance
- FluoroGrip® – E film has outstanding resistance to chemicals, abrasives, weathering and high-energy radiation.
- This material is suitable for pipe wraps, anti-graffiti, paint replacement, splash and spill protection and exterior corrosion protection of steel, concrete, fiberglass and other plastic structures and equipment.
- FluoroGrip® – E film offers a UL V-0 rating for flammability. This provides performance suitable for enclosed areas and buildings and ducts and as a high performance paint replacement.
