Typical Applications
We apply Halar® (ECTFE) coatings to components used in:
- Chemical processing equipment: pipes, tanks, valves, filters, pump parts
- Semiconductor & electronics: coating for ultra-pure systems, wet process stations
- Pharmaceutical & biotech: sanitary pipework, gaskets, fixturing
- High-purity systems: ultra-pure water, chlorine, acids, bases
- Other industrial gear: impellers, plating racks, machined parts
If your component is exposed to aggressive environments or demands high cleanliness, Halar® (ECTFE) is often an optimal solution.
Our Application Methods: Electrostatic Spray & Fluidized Bed
We tailor our application method to your component’s geometry, material, and performance targets:
- Electrostatic spray coating: Ideal for complex shapes, fine features, or precision-machined surfaces.
- Fluidized bed coating: Well suited for simpler geometries or preheated parts where a uniform coating thickness is desired.
