Fluorochemical Products And Applications

Fluorochemical products are used in a wide range of applications across various industries. These products are used for coatings, paper products, textiles and printing inks. The materials are used to make automobile, architectural structure and semiconductor products. Some of the unique properties of these materials include surface lubricity, high heat resistance, low refractive index, adhesion to surfaces with low energy, resistance to oil and grease, moisture and chemical resistance, low surface energy, and dirt and soil resistance. Both generic and branded proprietary products are available in this category. These materials can be used to make high performance fire protectant foams, precision cleaners, coating additives and paper protectants. Fluorochemical alcohols are used in paper coatings and paint additives. Fluorochemical olefins are used for polymeric product and surfactant formulations. Acrylate and methacrylate fluorochemicals are used to develop stain and soil resistant coatings for leather, textiles and non-woven materials.
