Fluoropolymers Help Protect

Products made from fluoropolymers are indispensable to modern life. How? By saving lives, preventing injury & disease. Through the advancement of communications technologies they keep our world connected.

FIREFIGHTERS - Fluoropolymers are used in the manufacturing of durable fire-retardant fabrics that help shed water, resist abrasion and retain insulation, which diminishes the chance for burns.

AIRCRAFT CREW AND PASSENGERS - Aircraft fire is significantly reduced by using fluoropolymer based composites for wiring insulation.

PROTECTING FACTORY WORKERS - Workers are protected from corrosive, alkaline or acidic chemicals by wearing protective garments made of nylon or polyester coated with chemically resistant polymers such as PTFE (polytetrafluonocthvlene) a type of fluoropolymers.

OFFICE WORKERS - Using fluoropolymers to insulate wire and cable placed in the air space between a suspended ceiling and the structural floor above reduces the risk of fire in office buildings.

Flame resistant fluoropolymers do not interfere with signal transmission and are good insulators of low-voltage electricity, which includes, data-transmission materials, such as phone cables, computer wires and cables, coaxial cable and hookup wire.
