Is Halar the same material as Tefzel?
No. Halar is ECTFE; Tefzel is ETFE. A substitution requires review of the specific exposure, product grade and customer specification.
INDUSTRIAL FLUOROPOLYMER COATINGS
Halar ECTFE Coating Services
Halar is an ECTFE fluoropolymer used for chemical and corrosion protection. ACS applies Halar coating systems to industrial parts with the product grade, surface preparation and acceptance criteria defined for the job.
Chemical and corrosion protection
For a chemical-service inquiry, include the chemical identity, concentration, temperature and whether exposure is continuous, intermittent or immersion. Those conditions guide review of the specified ECTFE grade and coating system.
Halar coating thickness and integrity
Include the required coating thickness, coated areas, access constraints and inspection specification. Spark testing and other acceptance checks are established for the selected system and project requirements.
Batch oven
Individual components and larger industrial parts.
High-speed line oven
Processing options reviewed for recurring production.
Part size review
Polymer coating capacity up to 196 inches long by 74 inches in diameter. Call about longer parts and material-specific processing.
APPLICATION REVIEW
ECTFE barriers for process equipment
Halar ECTFE combines chemical and permeation resistance with mechanical durability. Discuss chemical duct components, tank surfaces and other process equipment with ACS; the actual exposure and specified grade determine the review.
What helps qualify your part
For chlorine exposure, identify wet or dry conditions, concentration and temperature. Include weld quality, access and thickness requirements.
New parts, repair and urgent requirements
Identify any existing coating to remove, substrate damage, masked features and the required completion date. Inspection and processing commitments are confirmed for the job.
Common questions
What should I send with a quote request?
Send the drawing, substrate, dimensions, quantity, coating product, required thickness, masked areas, service conditions, inspection requirements and deadline. Identify any existing finish that needs removal.
Request a quote
Tell ACS which material is specified and what your part needs. We will review the application, processing scope and schedule.
