Resistance to salt fog up to 900 hours

Corrosion problems of metallic parts can be generally divided into 3 groups. Resistance to very aggressive chemical agents (bases or acids) at high temperatures (150°C). It is almost essential to consider using thick coatings like ECTFE, ETFE or PFA. igration of thin molecules through any polymer becomes negligible for thicknesses over 600µ and up to 1000µ depending on the resins. These resins are applied using electrostatic powder coating on hot parts, and thicknesses  from 600µ to 1mm can be applied. They are designed especially for the production of anti-corrosive coatings in the chemistry sector: containers, stirrers… Furthermore, we are able to bring you solutions in terms of cold polymerizable coatings for parts requiring repair.

Resistance to environmental corrosion which is unanimously quantified by the number of hours of resistance to salt fog.

It is rare that we use polymers alone to solve an oxidation problem. We ask for other performances in the same time, such as a low friction coefficient, noice-cancelling function, temperature resistance, electrical friction or insulation. Many solutions combined with our fluororesin solutions can be provided: zinc flake, nickel plating, hard anodizing, phosphating…

Resistance to fretting corrosion and galvanic couple.

Mechanical parts in a relative movement of low amplitude but high frequency sometimes show signs of significant corrosion and wear. Our Fluoref®, Fluorimid® or Microflon® coatings offer high-performance solutions, the thin deposits penetrating the part behave as dry lubricants welded to the metal. A comprehensive study on the choice of materials in contact must be made in each case.
