Fluoropolymers.


Fluon fluoropolymer resins and compounds are highlighted in this 12-page, four-color brochure. Polytetrafluoroethylene polytetrafluoroethylene

) is said to be a highly cost-effective material. It is said to be the most widely used fluoropolymer and is said to benefit every aspect of modern life, from food processing to aerospace, from bearings to non-stick cooking, from chemical plants to seals and high-quality printing. This company is said to be one of the world's largest producers of virgin PTFE resins. The firm currently produces three families of Fluon PTFE, including granular, coagulated co·ag·u·late

 dispersions and aqueous dispersions, each in a number of grades to accommodate an ever-growing range of end-use products, according to the company. Fluon is said to keep insulation thickness to a minimum and has a wider temperature range than other insulators. It is said to reduce or eliminate costly maintenance by resisting chemical environments and outdoor weathering. It is said to eliminate the need for external lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of  in closed situations.
