Aeropak process

The best known aspect, and the first one to find commercialization in the direct fluorination area, was the fluorination of polymer surfaces. This Lagow-Margrave invention, trademarked Fluorokote, involved many types of polymeric materials in various forms e.g., polyethylene bottles, polypropylene objects, and rubber gloves. Polyethylene bottles are easily given fluorocarbon surfaces (>0.1 mm), and this has been commercialized. Air Products has at least 20 licenses for what is known as their Aeropak process and Union Carbide has a Linde Fluorination process as well. Applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic storage are widespread. 

Aeropak process—simultaneous blow-molding and inner-surface fluorination of polymeric containers—is the most well-known example of an in-situ treatment process.
