FEP COATINGS

FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is a unique fluoropolymer coating, known for its superior chemical resistance, excellent electrical properties, and non-stick surface. FEP coatings are particularly valuable in industries requiring non-reactive, low-friction surfaces, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical processing.

Characteristics

Chemical Resistance
Offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals.
High Temperature Stability
Maintains performance under high temperatures.
Low Friction
Ensures a low-friction surface, reducing wear and improving performance.
Non-Stick Surface
Provides a smooth, non-stick surface for various applications.
Transparency
Features a transparent appearance, allowing for visual inspection.
Temperature Range
PVDF coatings are designed to withstand a wide temperature range, retaining their properties under both high and low-temperature conditions.

  • Service Temperature: 40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C)
  • Melting Point: 175°C (347°F)
Coating Thickness
PVDF coating thickness can be tailored according to application requirements. Common thickness ranges include:

  • Standard Thickness: 0.2 mm – 1.5 mm
  • Application-Specific Thickness: up to 2 mm (available on request)

The thickness is determined based on exposure to environmental factors, chemical resistance needs, and mechanical durability.
