Performance Polymers and Coatings (PPC) applies high-performance industrial coatings to a wide variety of chemical and pharmaceutical processing plants. Most of these coatings are water-based and food-grade/FDA compliant. Apart from their release and non-stick properties for easy cleaning after use, these coatings must also offer impact, wear, and abrasion resistance, as well as withstand extreme working temperatures when required.

The chemical and pharmaceutical sector requires particular care in the production of each part, and the quality of surface coatings plays a fundamental role in this context. The chemical and pharmaceutical sector is a delicate area particularly subject to numerous factors, above all hygiene. When working in aseptic and bacteria-free environments, the cleanliness of machinery surfaces and tools is a priority. At Performance Polymers and Coatings, we provide surface coatings for the chemical industry, with the utmost attention to the non-stick properties, corrosion protection and resistance of the materials

Chemical resistant PTFE coatings operate in by far some of the harshest of performance conditions, many applications require resistance to strong acids, PFA coating is well suited for this application. PTFE coatings are capable of operating at extremes of temperatures without degradation or loss of performance, thus enabling equipment to operate at greater limits, enhancing the product performance and value.

PFA is a Perfluoroalkoxy Copolymer resin available in a powder. PFA combines the processing ease of conventional thermoplastic resins with the excellent properties of Teflon^® polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Products manufactured from PFA can offer continuous service temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). What’s more, PFA provides superior creep resistance at high temperatures, excellent low-temperature toughness, and exceptional flame  resistance. 

For a number of years fluoropolymers and thermoplastics have played a significant role in the chemical and similar industries to protect plant and equipment against chemical attack by a broad range of aggressive media. This is because they offer substantially better chemical resistance and thermal stability than other plastics or elastomeric materials.
