Fluoropolymers coatings

Non-Metallic Materials Numerous engineering thermoplastics have been commercialised including materials such as polyetherether ketone (PEEK) and polyether sulphate (PES) with much improved thermal/chemical resistance. The usage of FRP equipment has increased, and fluoropolymer lining technology/applications have come of age. Of particular interest is the development of stoved, fluoropolymer coating systems for process industry equipment.

For many applications it is desirable to be able to adjust the wetting properties of a solid surface for aqueous solutions. One method is called electrowetting [303,304], In electrowetting an electric potential is applied between a metal surface and a liquid via an electrode (Fig. 7.24). The metal is coated with an insulating layer of thickness h. Fluoropolymer coatings turned out to be suitable materials though it is not fully understood why [305], The change in contact...

Fig. 3. Interfacial slip of an entangled melt at a non-adsorbing perfectly smooth surface, where the dots represent an organic surface (e.g., obtained by a fluoropolymer coating), which invites little chain adsorption. Lack of polymer adsorption produces an enormous shear rate jiat the entanglement-free interface between the dots and the first layer of (thick) chains. y-x=vs/a is much greater than the shear rate y present in the entangled bulk. This yields an extrapolation length b, which is too large in comparison to the chain dimensions to be depicted here...

There are two distinct ways of coating a metal surface with a fluoropolymer coating. 

Some parts might need to have a coating thickness less than what other lining processes can provide. These might include valves, tubes, pipes, and impellers. These parts may still need to be protected by a fluoropolymer coating. One of the best references is published by the Powder Coating Institute although other sources are also available.

Fluoropolymer-coated glass fabric is a new system with adjustable translucency up to 50% and a high tensile strength. 

In special cases that have some other requirements, fluoropolymer-coated or silicone-coated fibreglass fabrics are increasingly being used. These materials are preferred mainly for foils and coatings and topcoats of fabrics, due to their thermal and chemical stability as well as their good... 

After batching, the powder was attrition milled (Model HD-01 Union Process, Akron, OH) in hexane at 600 rpm for 240 min in a fluoropolymer coated bucket using tungsten carbide media and a tungsten carbide spindle to reduce the starting particle sizes. The powder was again dried by rotary evaporation.
