High-Purity Polyols Improve the Performance of Coatings, Sealants and Adhesives

Today’s builders and engineers rely heavily on polyurethanes. This popular plastic material is safe and versatile, making it ideal for many different end-uses. Polyurethane polymers are formed by the reaction of isocyanate and a polyol. However, because different polyols have different formulas, they are not one-size-fits-all. In fact, selecting the right polyol formulation can be…

Performance Fluoropolymers for Smart Automotive Surfaces

Using Performance Polymers for Smart Automotive Surfaces

In addition to staying at the forefront of innovation, today’s automotive engineers and OEMs are challenged to develop vehicles that are sleek, efficient and safe. To comply with strict market demands, many rely on advanced solutions designed to enhance the performance of interior and exterior automotive surfaces.

FLEMION Fluorinated Ion Exchange Membranes

Reducing Energy Costs During Salt Electrolysis with FLEMIONⓇ Fluorinated Ion Exchange Membranes

Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), caustic potash (potassium hydroxide), chlorine, and hydrogen-basic chemical are critical ingredients used in products all over the world. These chemicals are used in a wide variety of household and industrial products including soaps, cleaners, and electrolytes in batteries. Electrolysis requires a significant amount of energy, so it’s critical to find any…

Three AFLAS Fluoroelastomer Grades Are Now FDA Approved for Food Contact

It’s challenging to design equipment that will be used in high temperature and other severe food processing applications. That’s because these applications require durable materials that meet the strict requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We’re excited to announce that three grades of our AFLAS fluoroelastomers are now FDA approved food contact….

The Power of PTFE Powders as a Performance Additive

Thousands of products are formulated with fluoropolyer-based performance additives to enhance their properties. For example, Fluon® polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowders provide desirable characteristics such as chemical resistance and improved lubricity, friction, and wear characteristics for thermoplastic parts and components. Manufactured through controlled degradation of virgin PTFE feedstock, these fluoropolymer powders offer higher purity and better physical…
