Wire and cable, chemical equipment lining |
Semiconductors, food processing, chemical containers |
Water pipes, battery separators, anti-corrosion coatings |
From the table above, it can be seen that among these types of fluoroplastic films:
PTFE film has the best temperature resistance and is also very non sticky, so it is used as a non stick coating for cookware and chemical pipelines;
ETFE films have excellent strength and toughness, and can withstand greater mechanical stress, so these films are often used in membrane structure buildings;
FEP film has good transparency, chemical resistance, and temperature resistance, so it is commonly used for wire insulation layers, chemical container liners, etc;
PFA film has similar performance to PTFE, but better processability, can be melted and processed, is stable at high temperatures, resistant to chemical corrosion, and has better strength and wear resistance than PTFE. It is suitable for high-performance applications and is often used in semiconductors, chemical equipment, and medical devices;
The final PVDF film has a relatively low cost and good chemical resistance, but it is not as good as other fluoroplastics. However, it has excellent weather resistance and UV resistance, so it is commonly used as a battery backsheet film.
