TAPPI TIP 0402-37 – Fluoropolymer properties and application in pulp and paper mills

Fluoropolymers have unique properties among thermoplastics, including outstanding chemical resistance to higher temperatures than other plastics; non-stick, non-wetting and low-friction surfaces; relatively low liquid and gas permeability; excellent UV resistance, and are non-burning materials available in a wide variety of product forms. High cost generally limits their use to specialized, high value applications, often competing with costly corrosion resistant alloys. This document both helps users in a pulp and paper mill to identify the correct fluoropolymer for a particular application and, by educating the reader, encourages wider application and use of fluoropolymers in challenging corrosion, sealing and wear applications.

Fluoroelastomers are not discussed in this document
