Industrial ETFE/Tefzel® Coating Services

Delta Coatings & Linings utilizes industrial ETFE/Tefzel® coatings for a wide range of applications and has years of experience as a Tefzel® Applicator.

Tefzel® is an ETFE thermoplastic copolymer derived from the polymerization of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene (Teflon®). ETFE is one of the most lightweight and transparent resin films available on the market. As it is extremely tough, Tefzel® can be used in a variety of different applications that require a high level of resistance to abrasion and chemical attacks.

Companies seeking a versatile and effective coating solution should consider Tefzel®, as its chemical inertness and strength offer high performance in even the most challenging environments.

How EFTE Coatings Work

When you opt for a Tefzel® coating, you will be working with a flexible material that has first-rate crack and stress resistance. Tefzel® coatings can be applied to a film thickness exceeding 50 mils, and most are now suitable for food contact end uses.

DuPont now has a Tefzel® coating with a permeation blocker added, which helps slow permeation in hot gas or fume services.

Industrial ETFE Coatings Applications

DELTA offer two versions of ETFE coating: a high-build topcoat powder available in three different colors, and an ultra-smooth topcoat powder, which are ideal for thin-film applications.

ETFE has been used extensively in the construction industry as a roofing material, as it offers excellent flexibility, as well as strong UV resistance qualities. Tefzel® is an excellent electrical insulator and has strong nonstick and low-friction properties.

Tefzel® coatings are ideal for use in chemical processing but can also be used in the production of:

• Cryogenics
• Compressor and pump linings and components
• Bearings
• Gaskets
• Wire insulation
• Electrical components
• Process vessels
• Film packaging for food and pharmaceuticals

Tefzel® has many uses in the nuclear and aerospace industries, where it is used to cover electrical and fiberoptic wiring or as cable wraps. It is a truly versatile coating that offers high performance as standard.
