Fluorinated materials--fluoroelastomers, fluorinated fluids, lubricants and greases, and fluoropolymers-- are outstanding performers in the demanding environments of Aerospace.The Aerospace industry includes the development, manufacture, and service of commercial, military, and business aircraft, helicopters, aircraft engines, missiles, spacecraft, materials, related components, and equipment. Air transportation engineers confront the challenges of designing and maintaining equipment that can stand up to the rigors of temperature extremes and aggressive chemical exposure.
Tecnoflon® FKM and FFKM, used in high performance sealing, offer a wide temperature service range from -40°C to 260°C. Galden® PFPE fluids and Fomblin® PFPE lubricants and greases offer thermal stability, chemical inertness and non-flammability. Solef® PVDF, Hyflon® PFA, Halar® ECTFE, and Algoflon® PTFE are widely used in molding, extrusion, and coating applications resulting in end products such as plastic components, wire and cable and gasketing.
