 HALAR®
is essentially a 1:1 alternating copolymer of ethylene and
chlorotrifluoro-ethylene (CTFE). By weight, it contains about
80% CTFE, one of the most chemically resistant materials that
can be used to make a polymer.
Though
CTFE homopolymers are excellent materials, they are difficult
to fabricate into complex shapes. By copolymerizing CTFE with
ethylene, HALAR® combines the chemical resistance of CTFE-based
materials with easy processability.
WHY
IS HALAR®
USED FOR CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS?
HALAR®
is one of the most chemically resistant polymers available
today. It possesses the following characteristics, and is
suitable for the most demanding applications:
|
Mechanically
tough with excellent abrasion and impact resistance
Continuous
use to 300º F in many applications
Excellent
release properties
Extremely
smooth surface
Dimensionally
stable
Low
cold flow
