Fluoropolymer lining is a highly suitable coating for environments and tanks requiring high thermal, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance. In addition to chemical, thermal, and abrasion resistance, fluoropolymers have low friction coefficients. The presence of fluorine groups in fluoropolymer structures contributes to these excellent properties.
Due to the difficulty of bonding fluoropolymer sheets to various surfaces, Estapolymer Sharif has imported dual-layer fluoropolymer sheets. The backing layer of these sheets can be made of glass fibers or polyester, which enhances their adhesive properties, making them suitable for composite tank linings.
Increasing Adhesion of Fluoropolymers
Another method to enhance adhesion in fluoropolymer linings involves a fixed point. The fluoropolymer sheets are then mounted on a prepared bed with fixed bolts. To prevent corrosion of the fixed bolts, a cap is placed over the bolt head, creating a plastic welding on the underside.
Applications:
Acidic environments, seawater, alkaline environments, polar solvents, food industries

Fluoropolymer linings have a wide range of applications. They are much more economical than using zirconium or some nickel-resistant steel alloys. However, each coating has its own strengths and weaknesses.
When researching options for protecting your corrosive chemicals, you can contact Estapolymer Sharif for consultation. The power and effectiveness of fluoropolymer coatings lie in their inertness.
