The 65,000-square-foot plant includes high quality robotic equipment and task-specific facilities.
Applied Coating Systems is already serving U.S. clients of Nippon Fusso at the same stringent levels of purity, quality, expertise and professionalism they have come to expect. Applied Coating Systems provides total production continuity and quality assurance, from initial design consultation to surface preparation and from coating application to assembly and final inspection.
Characteristics and Applications of Fluoropolymers Fluoropolymers have various advantages for applications in industries and daily life. Their chemical resistance is advantageous in the chemical industry field. Their ultra-smoothness, non-stick and anti-electrostatic properties are useful in various manufacturing processes. Fluoropolymers are commonly used on frying pans and other cookwares, because they have high heat resistance and non-stick properties.
Fluoropolymers are highly stable against most chemicals. They also offer a very low friction coefficient compared to other materials. In most cases, two parts should slide smoothly while they are keeping contact. Fluoropolymers have outstanding non-stick and easy-clean properties, eliminating the problem of raw materials and their containers adhering to each other during manufacturing process or shipping and becoming hard to clean. They are heat-resistant, even over 200 degrees Celsius, so they stand up to many processing technologies that utilize or generate heat.
