Fluorine resin can be used to various applications like non-stick frying pan, semiconductor, OA equipment, automobiles and general industrial machinery, has been active in a wide range of fields.
The following lists show the typical characteristics and types of fluorine resin.
Characteristics of fluoro resin
| Heat resistance | UL temperature 260℃(PFA・PTFE),can be used in a variety of environments. |
| Chemical resistance | Inert to most chemicals including strong acid/ alkali of high temperature and high concentration, and also insoluble in solvent. |
| Electirc insulation | The dielectric constant is lowest among plastics. |
| Separability | Because the excellent non-adhesive characteristic, any sticky substances is difficult to adhere. Even adhered, it is easy to peel off. |
| Sliding property | It has excellent slipperiness. |
| Water resistance | It has high surface tension, and strong waterproofness. |
| Weather resistance | It's possible to withstand the outdoor exposure by sunlight in a long period of time. |
| Purity | There is almost no elution of impurities. |
Types of fluorine resin
| PTFE | Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) |
| PFA | Tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (Soluble Teflon) |
| FEP | Tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer |
| ETFE | Ethylene - tetrafluoroethylene copolymer |
| PCTFE | Polychlorotrifluoroethylene |
| ECTFE | Ethylene - chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer |
| PVDF | Polyvinylidene fluoride |
| PVF | Polyvinyl fluoride |
