A better choice for
corrosion protection

Since their introduction more than

50 years ago, fluoropolymers have
successfully competed with metals
and other materials to provide pro-
tection against corrosion in chemical
processing and other demanding
environments.
Fluoropolymers are a class of
paraffinic, thermoplastic polymers
where some or all of the hydrogen
has been replaced by fluorine. The
result is either a fully fluorinated
polymer such as PTFE, MFA, and
PFA, or a partially fluorinated poly-
mer, such as ECTFE and PVDF. All
Ausimont fluoropolymer materials
offer the advantages of high temper-
ature endurance, outstanding chemi-
cal resistance, purity, excellent fire
propagation resistance and weather-
ing resistance.
By varying the fluorine content of
the polymer, the balance of mechani-
cal properties, chemical resistance, and
overall cost can be tailored for differ-
ent end-use applications.
As melt-processable grades contin-
ue to evolve, fluoropolymers have
become increasingly easier to process,
reducing the overall cost of finished
products. Today, the wide range of flu-
oropolymer materials available from
Ausimont also gives designers the
choices to satisfy their specific operat- ■ High purity requirements – The Pin-hole inspection of a Halar® powder

Processing Options
Powder Coating
Powder coating offers a seamless corro-
sion protection lining with a wide
range of thicknesses, from very thin to
very thick, depending on part shape
and service conditions. They offer the
same thickness and surface smooth-
ness as extruded sheet and eliminate
welds and seams, reducing risk of fail-
ures due to permeation or delamina-
tion. Powder coatings can be used in
vessels of custom design or complicat-
ed geometry and are particularly suited
for high purity fluid applications.
Recently, changes in powder coating
resins and application equipment (larg-
er ovens) allows for the use of powder
coatings in larger and larger vessels.

Sheet Lining
Fluoropolymers are available as fab-
ric-backed or unbacked sheet in typi-
cal thicknesses of 60 to 120 mils to
line items such as very large process
vessels, over-the-road trailers, and
railroad cars. Sheet lining is the most
widely-used, in-field applied corrosion
protection method for fluoropolymers.
In this process, the metal surface to
be lined is cleaned by sandblasting
before adhering the sheets side-by-
side on the unit’s interior. The sheets
are then thermoplastically welded
using weld rod of the same polymer
as the sheet material. The result is a
continuous corrosion-resistant liner.

tion of an oversize tube extruded
from the fluoropolymer resin. The
liner is usually designed so that its
outside diameter is one to three
percent larger than the inside diame-
ter of the intended part. Liner thick-
ness is usually 0.12" minimum for
small parts (i.e., 1.5 or 2-inch pipes)
and increases with item size. Liners
for large parts (i.e., 10- to 12-inch
pipes) typically have 0.20 - 0.25
wall thickness. Insertion of the liner
is accomplished by means of a
mechanical or hydraulic puller that
is attached to a liner clamp. The
liner is then drawn into the pipe
at a slow constant speed.

FRP Dual Laminate
Dual laminates are non-metallic
alternatives to exotic metals and
alloys in corrosive industrial applica-
tion. Generally constructed of a
chemically resistant thermoplastic
layer bonded to a fiberglass-rein-
forced plastic (FRP), dual laminates
are designed to withstand mechani-
cal loads and pressures. The FRP
structure consists of corrosion resis-
tant vinyl ester resins with embed-
ded veils and strand fiberglass mats
that are further reinforced with
woven veils or filament winding
construction. An exterior finish
provides UV and corrosion resistance
with flame retardancy. The continous
fluoropolymer lining of Halar ECTFE,
Hylar PVDF, or Hyflon MFA provides
chemical resistance.
Rotational Lining (Rotolining)
Conventional rotomolding tech-
niques can be used to line chemical
process, storage, and transfer equip-
ment with fluoropolymers. In roto-
molding, bi-axial rotation of the
mold above the melt point of the
polymer fuses the polymer and
adheres the lining to the substrate.
In rotolining, a piece of chemical
process equipment, such as a pipe
fitting, becomes the “mold.” The
interior surface is sandblasted to
lock the polymer in place during
molding. The result is a corrosion-
resistant, pin-hole free liner with
wall thicknesses which can exceed
0.100". Since no molding pressure is
used, the seamless liner is virtually
stress-free. The process is limited only
by the size of the rotomolding oven.

able fluoropolymers. Hyflon fluo-
ropolymers offer the highest temper-
ature rating, and broadest chemical
resistance of all melt processable flu-
oropolymers. They are an ideal
choice for extreme thermal and
chemical environments.
Hyflon resins are the result of
Ausimont's technical leadership in
specialty fluorinated monomers, the
building blocks used in polymer pro-
duction. Hyflon MFA and PFA are
designed to give much better physi-
cal properties than FEP, lower creep

fluoropolymer with a 1:1 alternating
copolymer structure of ethylene and
chlorotrifluoroethylene. Its unique
combination of properties includes
excellent chemical resistance, good
electrical properties, a broad-use
temperature range, outstanding
abrasion resistance, and excellent
impact strength. Halar ECTFE is
particularly recommended for high
purity fluid systems in semiconductor
and other industries. It is also the
fluoropolymer of choice when the

Hylar PVDF
Hylar PVDF fluoropolymer offers an
outstanding cost/performance value
and is often the first fluoropolymer
evaluated for an application.
Hylar PVDF polymer is a versa-
tile engineering plastic with a balance
of physical properties that qualify it
for high performance service in a
wide range of applications. It is highly
resistant to most environmental con-
ditions, including corrosive chemicals
and ultraviolet and gamma radiation.
HYLAR grades are suitable for a wide
range of melt-processable applications
including powder coatings, injection
molding, and extrusion of tubing,
mono-and multi-filaments, films, and
sheets. The excellent molded color and
high thermal stability of HYLAR MP
grades assures consistent appear-
ance of finished parts.
Chemical Resistance
■ Resists a wide variety of chemicals
including most inorganic acids, alco-
hols, halogenated solvents, bromine,
organic acids, aliphatic and aromatic
hydrocarbons
■ Attacked by fuming sulfuric acid,
and strong bases
■ Partially soluble in strong polar
solvents such as dimethyl formamide
and n-methyl pyrrolidone
Purity
■ Static soak testing in ultrapure
water and high purity chemicals
show extremely low levels of metallic
and organic extractables
■ Piping systems using natural Hylar
resins under dynamic flow conditions
will not release particulates to the
fluid stream
■ PVDF piping and components, due
to their low extractables and particu-
late shedding, are used extensively
in ultra pure water systems for semi-
conductor manufacture. When the
chemistry is compatible, PVDF pro-
vides an excellent balance of physi-
cal properties, cleanliness, and cost,
for high purity applications.
Thermal Properties
■ Excellent thermal stability
■ Prolonged exposure at 250°C
(482°F) in air does not lead to loss
of weight
■ No oxidative or thermal degradation
has been detected during continuous
exposure of Hylar resin at 150°C
(300°F) for a period of five years
Mechanical Properties
■ Solid tensile properties and impact
strengths
■ Excellent resistance to creep and
fatigue as compared to many ther-
moplastics

Additional Specialty
Coatings
While fluorine-based materials are-
typically used for corrosion protection,
they also protect against external
weathering elements, such as when
used as a base resin in high-perfor-
mance paints for metal substrates.
They are also key components in
anti-graffiti coatings used to protect
special monuments as well as anti-
stick coatings for household cook-
ware. The following specialty coat-
ings are offered by Ausimont:
■ Hylar 5000 PVDF
■ Algoflon PTFE Dispersions
■ Fluorobase T for anti-corrosion
coatings
■ Fluorobase Z for anti-graffiti coatings
Hylar 5000® PVDF
Hylar 5000 PVDF is used as a paint
resin for long-life architectural coat-
ings systems on metal, glass, and
other exterior surfaces. Hylar 5000
PVDF-based coatings exhibit excep-
tional color fidelity over a long life
of service, resisting degradation by
ultraviolet radiation and attack by
airborne pollutants, salt, wind-driven
sand, and chemicals. Available only
via a licensing program, Hylar 5000
based coatings can be coil or spray
applied to aluminum, aluminized
steel, and galvanized steel. A proper-
ly formulated finish contains suffi-
cient pigment to make the film total-
ly opaque to ultraviolet radiation.
FluorobaseTM T
Fluorobase T overcomes the limita-
tion of solvent-based coatings, which
can typically be used only in outdoor
applications. This novel class of
water-based coatings employs con-
centrated fluoroelastomer latexes to
yield a fully waterborne coating cur-
able with amines, both in ovens
(120-170°C) and at room tempera-
ture. A coating formulation is pre-
pared by direct grinding of pigments
fillers in the latex. The film obtained
can be cured in a wide range of tem-
peratures, including room tempera-
ture. Fluorobase T formulations pro-
vide thick coatings (200-250 microns
of dry film per pass) to steel, rubber,
or concrete to protect against chemi-
cals such as acids, hydrocarbons,
and oils.
■ Fluorobase T300 — This concen-
trated dispersion of fluoroelastomers
can be used to prepare highly
durable water-based paints. The
paint is easily processed in conven-
tional equipment due to its high
emulsion stability. Fluorobase T rep-
resents a new application of fluoro-
elastomers as waterborne coatings
that provides a rubber-like surface
with high mechanical and chemical
properties.
■ Fluorobase T320 — Fluorobase
T320 is a water-based paint contain-
ing fluoroelastomers that can be
applied to steel, concrete, or rubber
to protect against strong acids,
steam, fuels, and hydrocarbon oils.
The application of this coating
results in a rubbery surface having
typical mechanical properties of an
elastomeric sheet with high chemical
and thermal resistance. Applications
include flue ducts, scrubbers, pump
areas, storage tanks of hydrocarbon
oils and gasoline, and safe basins
surrounding storage tanks, chemical
plants, and reservoirs. Fluorobase T
can be applied with air or airless
spray. Epoxy primers must be used
before the application of Fluorobase
T320.
11
Fluorobase Z
Anti-graffiti/Anti-Corrosion/
Architectural Coating
Fluorobase Z1074 is a blend of NCO-
terminated, moisture-curable resins
based on perfluoropolyether back-
bone and soluble in organic solvents.
This product is ideal for external
applications where excellent durability,
chemical resistance, and rapid curing
at room temperature are required.
The formulated product gives stain
resistant polyurethane coatings with
excellent surface characteristics.
Anti-graffiti properties of the coating
can be reached after two hours from
application. The resin can be easily
pigmented and formulated with
either a gloss or matte finish, and
the final paints can be applied to
concrete, metal, and glass substrates.
12
Algoflon PTFE Dispersions
Aqueous dispersion of fluoropoly-
mers is used for impregnating glass
fibers and fabrics. These items
exhibit chemical resistance and self-
lubricating properties over a wide
temperature range. Aqueous disper-
sions are also useful for applying
thin release coatings to metals. They
are applied by spraying or dipping,
followed by thermal fusion or sintering.
Since these coatings are typically
less than .010", the corrosion protec-
tion they offer is limited in compari-
son to powder coating, sheet lining,
and rotolining.
