Halar Coating – ECTFE Copolymer
Halar Coating is made from ECTFE powder, a copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene. It is designed to provide high-performance protection in industrial environments where corrosion and chemical resistance and reliable electrical insulation are essential. This material is used in advanced technical applications requiring excellent durability and robust mechanical properties.
Chemical Properties:
Halar stands out for its ability to resist most acids, bases, and solvents used in technical environments. No known solvent can attack or destroy this coating at temperatures below 120°C, making it particularly suitable for applications in harsh environments.
Electrical Properties:
– Very low dielectric constant: 2.5, stable over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
– Electrical strength: 80 kV/mm, providing excellent insulation in electrical and electronic applications.
Mechanical Properties:
Halar is a very robust polymer that combines abrasion resistance, high hardness, and excellent impact and deformation resistance, even in harsh industrial environments. This coating is particularly suitable for parts requiring high mechanical strength and a low coefficient of friction.
