Type
- FluoroGrip® – P sheets and films are manufactured from virgin grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resins modified to incorporate hydroxyl groups to create an oxy-fluoropolymer.
- The base polymers are molded, sintered and skived to the appropriate thickness. FluoroGrip® – P skived exhibits minimal skive lines and has high tensile and elongation strengths.
- Both sheet and film are widely used in a number of industries due to the material’s outstanding characteristics, including heat and chemical resistance, dielectric strength, and antistick properties.
- The softness and flexibility properties create a versatile paint replacement film.
Uses
- The excellent temperature and chemical resistance make it an ideal material for use in a variety of aggressive chemical and temperature environments.
- The outstanding chemical and thermal resistance combined with superior elongation properties makes it an excellent candidate for secondary containment liners, and splashand-spill ultra-high-performance paint replacement or as an underlayment to chemical resistant toppings, acid brick and coating systems.
- Fabricated shapes and contours can be produced via heat sealing and thermoforming. The superior non-stick surface, chemical resistance, and 300-400˚F (depending upon adhesive) usage temperature make FluoroGrip® – P an ideal release film for linings and exterior ultra-high performance anti-graffiti paint replacement where a “non-stick” surface is desirable or for equipment usage where a low coefficient of friction is desired.
- FluoroGrip® – P with silicone adhesive is the material of choice for lining tanks and process equipment in concentrated ozone environments. Double-sided treatment is especially useful when installations require seams, overlaps or the application of chemical resistant coatings or 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 underlayment or membrane where the application of chemical resistant toppings and acid brick permits its use in traffic and secondary containment lining applications.
