Properties of Teflon: Chemical Resistance
DuPont™ Teflon® industrial coatings are highly durable and long lasting performance coatings that have a distinct application process and qualities that offer solutions in a variety of industrial markets. This series of blogs will highlight one of these inherent properties of Teflon® coatings and how these properties can solve a variety of problems.
Chemical Resistance: Chemical environments
usually do not affect a DuPont™
Teflon® industrial coating. The only
chemicals known to affect these coatings are molten alkali metals and highly
reactive fluorinating agents. Minimal porosity leads to excellent permeation
resistance and low chemical absorption. Teflon® coatings’ resistance to
chemical action makes the coatings a good choice for the chemical processing
and semiconductor industries. PFA and
ETFE have the best chemical resistance to many acids, bases, and solvents due
to the coatings ability to melt-flow and achieve high film builds.
