Halar® ECTFE Coating Services
Delta Coatings & Linings utilizes Halar® ECTFE coatings for a wide range of applications and has been a Halar Applicator for many years.
Halar® ECTFE (ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer) powder coatings are high-performing polymers that exhibit superb chemical resistance even in heavy-duty applications. They perform particularly well in areas that may be at risk from corrosion or chemical attacks.
The purity of Halar® ECTFE makes it a suitable choice for a variety of applications that require a high level of flexibility. Halar® ECTFE has outstanding abrasion and thermal shock properties, as well as being suitable for full vacuum services over the entire PH range. It covers substandard metals, such as those used in equipment previously damaged from chemical attack.
What is Halar® ECTFE?
Halar® ECTFE coatings are a copolymer made of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene. Halar® coatings provide excellent chemical protection and barrier properties and is resistant to many harsh chemicals up to 300°F.
When you choose Halar® ECTFE coatings, you will be working with a flexible material with solid processability, designed to perform well in a variety of applications. Halar® ECTFE offers excellent electrical properties and thermal stability, making it a durable option.
The benefits of choosing Halar® ECTFE include:
- Strong chemical resistance
- Strong thermal properties
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Optimum permeation resistance
- Outstanding flame resistance
- Very good surface characteristics
- High purity
- A smooth surface that reduces or eliminates the buildup of salt deposits and debris that can reduce airflow

For All Your Industrial Coating Applications
Delta Coatings & Linings' line of protective industrial metal coatings can solve many different types of applications.
Abrasion Resistance
Abrasion Resistance
Often, the first hint that something’s wrong with a process or application is an unusual noise. It could sound like a squeal, chatter or grinding, among other things, but it indicates parts are rubbing against each other. Left unaddressed can lead to poor performance or failure.
Baked-On Linings
Baked-On Linings
Baked-on linings create a protective coating for tanks, ducts, piping, and other devices. This coating is applied to a prepped surface and heated with care to ensure even temperature from floor to ceiling, which maximizes adhesion.
Chemical Resistance
Chemical Resistance
Chemical resistant coatings provide benefits to a range of industries including medical, food, rubber manufacturing and more. Chemical resistant coatings are essential to equipment such as tanks, pumps, and valves exposed to chemicals.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion Resistance
Anti-corrosion coatings can help deter material degradation brought on by oxidation, moisture, and chemical exposure, among others. They function as a barrier preventing contact between corrosive materials and chemical compounds.
Dry/Solid Film Lubricants
Dry/Solid Film Lubricants
Dry film lubricants (solid film lubricants) are designed to reduce friction between surfaces moving against each other. These coatings prevent galling and seizing while protecting in hot and cold environments.
Non-Stick Coatings
Non-Stick Coatings
Non-Stick industrial coatings are used in a wide range of industries. Some benefits that non-stick coating applications are minimized machine downtime and maximizes production with reduced coefficient of friction.
