Halar^®, Tefzel™ Linings

Consider Halar^® ECTFE or Tefzel™ ETFE as your liner material if you’re looking for a cost-effective fluoropolymer that can protect your equipment and tanks from both acids and caustics.

Halar^® and Tefzel™ both protect against corrosion caused by the full pH spectrum. They are multi-environment standouts, making them good choices for a neutralization tank, for instance, because they can easily tolerate the swings in pH levels. They also tolerate heat better, up to 250°F when bonded to a substrate with a toughened epoxy adhesive.

In addition to improved chemical corrosion protection, Halar^® and Tefzel™ offer increased permeation protection, the other major threat that fluoropolymer linings address.

And Halar^® has the lowest coefficient of expansion of any of the fluorinated resins, making it a good choice for high thermal-cycling environments. Plus, its added smoothness resists surface build-up of particulates.

The performance advantages of Halar^® and Tefzel™ do cost a bit more, but not much.
