Type - FluoroGrip® – F fluoropolymer film is manufactured from high molecular weight fluorinated ethylene propylene (HD-FEP) resin by Integument Technologies, Inc.
Uses
- FluoroGrip® – F film is made from high molecular weight resin for applications where chemical resistance, high flex life and stress-crack-resistant performance are required.
- Typical applications include tank and secondary containment linings, “splash-and-spill” paint replacement, acid brick and the membranes.
- The outstanding chemical and thermal resistance withstands aggressive environments, making it an excellent candidate for a wide variety of aggressive chemical and thermal environments.
- Fabricated shapes and contours can be produced via heat sealing and thermoforming. The outstanding weatherability and optical properties of FluoroGrip® – F film provides excellent performance in outdoor atmospheric environments.
- The non-stick surface, chemical resistance, and 300-450°F (depending upon adhesive) usage temperature make FluoroGrip® – F an ideal release film for internal linings and paint replacement where a “non-stick” surface is desirable such as silos, stock chests and food processing areas (walls, equipment, bulk powder handling equipment, chutes, etc.).
- Single-side modification makes the material suitable as a 30-mil hot-air 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 general purpose film. The modification also creates a superior surface for use as a chemical and temperature resistant underlayment or membrane where the application of chemical resistant toppings permits its use in traffic and secondary containment lining applications.
