Applications of PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF, ETFE and other fluoropolymer tubes
What is 1.: PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF, ETFE?
Fluoroplastics (Fluoroplastie) refer to plastics made of fluororesin. The main varieties are polytetrafluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer and chlorotrifluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer.
PTFE:PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)
FEP:FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer)
PFA:PFA plastic is a copolymer of a small amount of perfluoropropyl perfluorovinyl ether and polytetrafluoroethylene.
PVDF: Polyvinylidene fluoride, or PVDF for short, is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer.
ETFE:ETFE is a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene

2. characteristics of fluorine plastic:
Fluoropolymers are unique among other plastics on the market due to their versatility and unparalleled performance. Their ability to resist corrosion, withstand extreme temperatures, withstand large amounts of voltage and provide a non-stick surface makes them a suitable solution for products in many industries.
Whether your company deals with metal surface treatment, chemical processes, aerospace engineering or technical equipment, fluoropolymers can be made into rods, filaments, manufactured goods and heat exchangers, but one of their most sought-after manifestations is tubing.

Application scenarios for the use of 3. fluoroplastics:
Like fluoropolymers, fluoropolymer tubing has a wide range of uses. For example, fluoropolymer tubes have been used in numerous products involving gas and liquid flow, medical equipment, laboratory equipment, microwave applications, food and beverage processing, and electrical insulation. Fluoropolymers have also proven useful in emerging technology industries. Among wind and solar companies, fluoropolymers are favored for their durable performance and ability to reduce operating costs. PTFE fluoropolymer tubing is known for its ability to withstand a wide range of chemicals. It is most commonly used for electronics and electrical work.
Fluoropolymer tubing in the form of FEP is also a suitable solution for electrical products or projects, but is more cost-effective than PTFE. For those users who specifically need longer pipes, Dankai can purchase PFA fluoropolymers in longer lengths than other forms of pipe. It has been most widely and effectively used in the scientific and environmental industries.

Comprehensive application of our Dankai products, we Dankai finishing the field of machinery industry fluoroplastics friction coefficient is small, its static friction coefficient is lower than the dynamic friction coefficient, can be used in low speed and high load fields, such as in civil engineering, chemical industry, bridges and other structural parts can solve the expansion and contraction problems caused by thermal expansion and vibration. Specific applications are:
(1) anti-pollution machinery (such as textile, paper, pharmaceutical, food machinery) bearing sleeve;
(2) conveying alkali, solvent and other non-lubricating liquid machinery (such as mixer, dyeing machine, pump);
(3) in acid, alkali and other corrosive environment (such as electroplating bath chemical equipment) work under the sleeve;
(4) Prohibited oil lubrication (such as oxygen making equipment);
(5) Yuan oil lubrication (such as ultra-low temperature refrigerators, liquid fuel pumps);
(6) Sliding parts working in an environment with poor oil lubrication effect (adding high-temperature dryer, furnace-end platform, furnace conveyor belt);
(7) Sliding member (movable support) at low speed and high load.
