Built around your application.
ACS applies industrial fluoropolymer coatings including Teflon systems, PTFE, PFA, Tefzel ETFE, Halar ECTFE and Kynar PVDF, plus PVC and epoxy polymers. Bring us your specified coating or the chemical exposure, temperature and finish requirements for application review.
Individual components and larger industrial parts.
Coordinated processing for recurring production.
Parts up to 196 inches long by 74 inches in diameter. For longer parts, please call.
COATING SYSTEMS
Each coating family serves different requirements. Chemical exposure, temperature and film thickness guide selection.
For chemical resistance and release applications.
PTFE, PFA, ETFE, ECTFE and PVDF.
Teflon, Tefzel, Halar and Kynar systems.
Typical parts include vessels, pipe spools and agitators, plus surfaces where sticking or cleanup is a concern.
Chemical compatibility, operating temperature, release requirements and coating thickness.
A protective plastic layer for metal components.
PVC formulation, coating thickness and operating temperature.
An adherent barrier against corrosion, chemical exposure and wear.
Epoxy systems can be used when the selected coating is certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for the intended use.
Chemical type, concentration and operating temperature.
MATERIAL SELECTION
| Material | Selection focus | Include in your RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| Halar ECTFE | Chemical and permeation resistance combined with mechanical durability. | Chemical mixture, vapor or immersion exposure, temperature and coating access. |
| PFA | Melt-fused nonporous films for specified chemical-protection systems. Purity depends on the grade and process. | Product grade, purity criteria, temperature, thickness and acceptance requirements. |
| Kynar PVDF | Resistance to many acids and process chemicals; grade and exposure conditions determine suitability. | Concentration, temperature, alkali exposure and exact coating grade. |
| Tefzel ETFE | Chemical protection and abrasion resistance in suitable coating systems. | Wear conditions, solids, chemistry, temperature and dimensional tolerances. |
These are selection considerations, not interchangeable specifications. Finished coating performance depends on the product grade, preparation, application, geometry and service conditions.
Industrial PTFE release coatings address sticking, buildup and friction. A release coating should not automatically replace an immersion barrier lining. Teflon names a product family; provide the resin and product number on your drawing.
SPECIFICATIONS & INSPECTION
For hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, wet chlorine or caustic service, supply concentration, mixtures, normal and upset temperatures, pressure or vacuum and cleaning conditions. ACS reviews the selected system before confirming scope.
Include the required preparation standard, anchor profile and minimum and maximum thickness. SSPC-SP 10 / NACE No. 2 addresses near-white metal blast cleaning; the profile must also match the coating system.
If your specification calls for ASTM D5162 or NACE SP0188, provide its revision, test coverage and acceptance criteria. ACS confirms the inspection scope before accepting the order. Test voltage depends on thickness and the applicable procedure; a higher voltage is not automatically a better test.
Holiday testing detects discontinuities under the test conditions. It does not establish zero chemical permeation or unlimited service life.
Yes. Include the brand, resin designation, product grade and specification revision when available. Halar is ECTFE, Kynar is PVDF and Tefzel is ETFE. Teflon describes a family of fluoropolymer products, so the product or resin designation helps define the required system.
Provide the substrate, part dimensions, chemicals and concentrations, operating temperature, desired thickness and any release or abrasion requirements. ACS reviews the application before confirming the coating system.
Bring us your part, quantity and deadline. We’ll discuss scope, timing and the next step.
