Chemical Resistance
Many engineering components are made out of chemical resistant plastics. Not every material operate well in chemically aggressive varied environments. Amongst all resins, fluorocarbon based materials are the best plastics and elastomer solutions to enduring diverse of chemically aggressive environments. DAIKIN proposes a comprehensive range of solution to improve partners processing and extend parts life.
ABOUT
Why Fluoro materials are resistant to chemicals?
Fluoroplastics are composed of multiple strong carbon-fluorine bonds. This carbon-fluorine bond, called ‘C-F’ for short, is one of the strongest single bonds known. The multitude of C-F bonds in fluoropolymers gives these plastics excellent resistance to solvents, acids, and bases.
Improve processes in chemical plant and handling
Processing chemicals equipment and containers that withstand very aggressive and varied type of chemicals. DAIKIN propose NEOFLON materials solution for valves, seals, and pumps that resist oils and aggressive fluids during any production process.
POLYFLON PTFE are also widely used in for containers or tank liners in chemical and pharma plants ensuring excellent stability and storage of the chemical processes The semicon fabrication process is also relying on fluoro materials to provide the highest purity level during the handling and production to reduce default and contamination.
Chemical resistant additives and oil for increasing productivity
Parts converters and film processors are continuously seeking to improve productivity by accelerating their process and reducing default. DAIKIN's Polymer Processing Aids and DAIFREE mold release agents can increase the productivity by improving the production process. Thanks to their chemical resistance properties, not only that it improves demolding but also maintains mold integrity, for longer service time
Contribute to automotive reduction emission challenge
To meet global objectives of emission reductions the automotive industry is obliged to turbo-charged engines and function with new fuel blends. It drives hose system producer to design hoses resisting to the new and varied types of fuel at higher pressure. DAIKIN NEOFLON CPT for tubes and DAI-EL BRE for gasket and seal meet these stringent requirements.
Protect non-woven from nlcohol and solvents
Medical gowns, sanitary napkins, industrial operator protection are standard nonwoven application requiring resistance to alcohol and solvents. Unidyne Repellent are undisputable solution offering effective repellency and resistance to chemical resistance from oil or alcohol.

APPLICATIONS
Medical industries or food and chemical processing have high expectations with regards to chemically inert materials. They demand materials that do not melt, swell, erode, or do not react even if it comes in contact with various chemicals such as alkali, acid, oxidizing agent, reducing agent, organic solvent. DAIKIN fluoro-based materials meet the most demanding challenge by offering inert materials with strong barrier properties.
