Position of Fluoropolymers in the Materials Spectrum

Fluoropolymers are fluorine-containing polymers. They are thermoplastic in nature and are semirigid, and are classified in two ways  

These materials have the highest chemical resistance (Tables 2.3 and 2.4) among the polymer materials, as well as maximum-use temperature. Corrosion resistance is a function of the level of fluorine, hence the fully fluorinated ones are usually preferred for tough applications.
