What Are Fluoropolymers?

Fluoropolymers are used in a wide range of fields, including semiconductors, office equipment, automobiles, and industrial machinery.
Their unique properties are well known in non-stick frying pans.
Gunze makes the most of the various properties of fluoropolymers to deliver the optimal user experience.

Features of Fluoropolymers

  • Heat resistant

    Heat resistant

    Continuous operating temperatures are 260°C for PFA and 200°C for FEP, allowing use in a wide range of environments.

  • Water repellent, non-adhesive

    Water repellent, non-adhesive

    Due to their low surface tension, they repel water and oil well, and even sticky materials don’t easily adhere to them.

  • Chemical resistant

    Chemical resistant

    They are inert and insoluble in various chemicals, including strong acids and strong alkalis, at high temperatures and high concentrations.

  • Weather resistant

    Weather resistant

    They withstand degradation from outdoor exposure to things like high temperatures, high humidity, and ultraviolet rays.

  • Non-conductive

    Non-conductive

    Among plastics, they have the lowest dielectric constant and excellent dielectric strength.

  • Highly pure

    Highly pure

    No elution of impurities to gases and chemicals.

  • Slippery

    Slippery

    They have the lowest coefficient of friction of any material and exhibit slippery surface characteristics.

  • Non-flammable

    Non-flammable

    They are self-extinguishing and thus exhibit flame resistance.
