Features

High purity
No plasticizers or heat stabilizers are needed for processing, so compared to other general-purpose resins, the elution of TOC (Total Organic Carbon), metals, or metal ions is extremely low, providing a high-purity resin.
Excellent moldability
Excellent moldability (injection and extrusion) surpassing other fluoride resins, can be used as a coating powder, and enables secondary processing, such as welding.
Chemical resistance
Excellent chemical resistance makes the material applicable for pipes, valves, and fittings in chemical plants or other industrial facilities.

Physical properties
KF polymer is one of the best fluoropolymers in terms of mechanical properties. Good mechanical strength provides excellent resistance to abrasion and impact.
Weatherability
Excellent heat and weather resistance makes it applicable for outdoor covering films.

Installation advantages

Enduring resistance to chemicals and weather impacts contributes to longer product lifetimes.
Its high level of purity makes KF Polymer suitable for use in fine chemicals and high-purity water applications.
