Fluoroplastic materials offer a wide variety of desirable characteristics in industrial applications where wear resistance, sealing, filtration, and high temperature performance are required. When used as an additive, coating or in a compound, fluoropolymers contribute their unique PTFE or Melts based properties to the host material to which they are paired with, providing non-stick properties, improved lubricity, anti-drip and better wear resistance.

Everflon™ Fluoropolymer membranes are an essential component of water and wastewater treatment technologies. Hollow fibre micro- and ultra-filtration membranes are manufactured having a very fine porous structure (on a size scale of nanometres), which allows the water to pass through, while blocking pollutants (such as particles and microplastics) and infectious agents. Water typically flows from the outside to the inside of the membrane lumen. They can be installed directly submerged in water, working under suction, or enclosed in a pressurised vessel and fed by pumps.
