Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) Properties & Applications
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) is a thermoplastic chlorofluoropolymer with the molecular formula (CF2CClF)n, where nis the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule. It is similar to polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), except that it is a homopolymerof the monomer chlorotrifluoroeth...Read more -
What is Fluoropolymer?
Fluoropolymer is usually olefinic polymer which consists of partially or fully fluorinated olefinic monomers such as vinylidene fluoride (CH2¼CF2) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) (CF2¼CF2). These polymers have been covered in great detail in a number of references. More specialty fluorinated polyme...Read more -
Comparison Between PTFE and PFA Processing
For a number of years fluoropolymers have played a significant role in the chemical and similar industries to protect plants and equipment against chemical attack by a broad range of aggressive media. This is because they offer substantially better chemical resistance and thermal stability than o...Read more -
Building with ETFE architecture
Tensile structures have been used for millennia. When indigenous peoples required shelter that was lightweight and structurally sound, fabrics made from animal hides and easily transportable elements were the most viable solution. At the Roman Colosseum, a retractable Velarium provided shading fo...Read more
