Reviews of the Best Fluoropolymer Extrusion Companies

Fluoropolymers are a subset of plastics that all exhibit common properties which are highly desired for some applications:

  • Chemical Resistance
  • High Melting Points
  • High Lubricity

These same properties can make them difficult to work with, bond to other components and manufacture. Finding a vendor that had expertise in working with these materials is critical to the success of your project. These companies can help you choose the right material for your project based on mechanical, biocompatibility, and electrical insulation.

Fluropolymers are used in most industries. You can find them in use for automotive, medical devices, aerospace, oil & gas, industrial, electrical components and many more. If looking for high performance materials, these are definately ones to consider if chemical resistance and lubricity are important. Most do not exhibit the mechanical properties they other plastics offer and are in many cases used as coatings and tubing. 

Fluropolymers can be made into many different types of tubing. The length, diameter, wall thicknes and configuration able to be acheived will depend on which of the polymers is used. Most are able to have both single and multilumen tubes. If bonding to other materials is desired, the tube may have to undergo a secondary process to etch the surface to allow for bonding. Many suppliers can perform the etching for you and deliver ready to use tubing.
