Fluoropolymers have unique properties among thermoplastics,
including outstanding chemical resistance to higher temperatures
than other plastics; non-stick, non-wetting and low-friction
surfaces; relatively low liquid and gas permeability; excellent UV
resistance, and are non-burning materials available in a wide
variety of product forms. High cost generally limits their use to
specialized, high value applications, often competing with costly
corrosion resistant alloys. This document both helps users in a
pulp and paper mill to identify the correct fluoropolymer for a
particular application and, by educating the reader, encourages
wider appreciation and use of fluoropolymers in challenging
corrosion, sealing and wear applications. Fluoroelastomers are
not discussed in this document.
