As part of the fluoropolymer family, ECTFE (Ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene) coatings, known as Halar® in some settings, have a unique combination of properties including excellent chemical resistance, good electrical properties, a broad-use temperature range, outstanding abrasion resistance, and excellent impact strength.

Halar® / ECTFE Coatings resist a wide variety of corrosive chemicals and organic solvents, including strong acids, chlorine, and aqueous caustics making them ideal for vessels and process equipment for chemical processing, oil and gas and pharmaceutical industries.

Typical applications served by Halar® ECTFE include those in contact with highly corrosive or ultra-pure chemicals such as strong inorganic bases and mineral & oxidizing acids including vessels, reactors, chemical storage tanks, semiconductor ductwork, piping systems, exhaust hoods and electroplating equipment.
