“Neoflon” is a brand name associated with various types of fluoropolymers produced by Daikin Industries, a leading manufacturer of plastics and chemicals. Neoflon fluoropolymers are known for their excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low friction properties.
- Chemical Resistance: Neoflon fluoropolymers exhibit exceptional resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents, making them suitable for applications in chemically harsh environments.
- High-Temperature Resistance: Neoflon materials typically offer good thermal stability and can withstand elevated temperatures without significant degradation of their properties.
- Low Friction: Neoflon fluoropolymers have a low coefficient of friction, making them suitable for applications requiring reduced friction and wear, even in non-lubricated conditions.
- Electrical Insulation: Neoflon materials are effective electrical insulators, making them suitable for applications that require both electrical insulation and thermal stability.
- Non-Stick Properties: Certain Neoflon formulations exhibit non-stick properties, making them suitable for applications where preventing the adhesion of materials is important.
- Biocompatibility: Some Neoflon grades are biologically inert and suitable for use in medical and pharmaceutical applications where compatibility with the human body is required.
- Seals and Gaskets: Neoflon fluoropolymers are used for seals, gaskets, and O-rings in applications requiring chemical resistance and reliable sealing performance.
- Bearings and Bushings: Neoflon materials find use in bearing and bushing applications due to their low friction, wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties.
- Valve Components: Neoflon is utilized in valve seats, seals, and diaphragms for its chemical resistance and ability to maintain reliable seals.
- Electrical Components: Neoflon is employed in electrical connectors, insulators, and wire coatings for their electrical insulation and thermal stability properties.
- Medical Devices: Certain Neoflon grades are used in medical equipment and implants that require biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.
- Food Processing Equipment: Neoflon materials may be suitable for use in food processing equipment due to their non-stick properties and potential compliance with food safety regulations.
