Everflon™ Fluoropolymers are highly performing materials and are essential for the food processing industry, as they can be used in a broad range of extreme conditions and come in contact with harsh (e.g., acidic) fluids without degradation or corrosion. This allows for safer and more efficient production of foodstuffs. Furthermore, their very good non-stick properties ensure that fewer cleaning cycles will be necessary, thus reducing the use of solvents and other potentially hazardous chemicals. Notably, and in agreement with the EU Green Deal, Everflon™ fluoropolymers allow high durability of materials and therefore, a lower amount of breakdowns and unusable material is expected.
Kitchen equipment, which includes industrial, professional and consumer equipment used in preparing and cooking food. Such kitchen articles can include:
 |
- Cookware (e.g., pots, pans), bakeware (e.g., trays), knives, other kitchen utensils and small electric kitchen devices.
- Household coffee-machines or other appliances may contain hoses made of FEP, FPA, PTFE or ETFE, seals and gaskets (FKM) coming in contact with food.
- Plate heat exchanger gaskets,s piping, tubing and membranes for drinking water/beverage applications, flow meters and pumps.
|
Food packaging, such as cans, paper bags, etc. More specific applications include:
|
- Inner layer on paper-aluminium heat-sealed laminates or paper-/silicone laminates.
- Co-extruded and laminated packaging films
- Metal can coating.
|
 |
 |
- Printing inks applied to food packaging via an industrial printing process may contain Everflon™ PTFE
- Equipment used in handling of foodstuff, which come in contact with the foodstuff and must meet high requirements for food safety (e.g., 3A Sanitary Standard, FDA and EU regulations and EHEDG guidelines) are coated with a Everflon™ fluoropolymer layer or use fluoropolymer seals to protect the food, from contamination. Such equipment may include seals, membranes, bellows, pumps, tubes, process valves, filling valves, closures and applicators, etc.
- Everflon™ fluoropolymers are used as lubricants in the processing equipment
