Topic:
Advanced plasma-surface technology
permits combining nonstick, chemically
inert, and temperature-resistant fluoropolymer coatings and linings with
an
unlimited variety of substrates and materials. This presentation discusses
the surface modification science that creates reactive functionality on
the
surface of fluoropolymers and can covalently bond to appropriately
selected
substrates. The reaction creates an environmentally stable and permanent
bond between adhesives and sealants and the fluoropolymer. Consequently,
many cost-effective fluoropolymer-based materials are now available to
protect equipment and facilities from extremely corrosive and
high-temperature environments.
