Can Tefzel and Halar be substituted automatically?
No. ETFE and ECTFE are different polymers. Substitution should be approved against the chemical exposure, operating conditions and drawing or customer specification.
INDUSTRIAL FLUOROPOLYMER COATINGS
Tefzel ETFE Coating Services
ACS applies Tefzel ETFE coating systems for industrial parts with specified protective coating requirements. Submit the product grade, application specification and operating conditions to establish the required preparation, coverage and acceptance criteria.
ETFE coatings and chemical-service requirements
Tefzel identifies ETFE. Provide chemical concentration, temperature and exposure conditions together with the customer specification. ACS reviews those details before confirming the coating system for a part.
ETFE part geometry and coated areas
Drawings should show overall dimensions, internal access, coated surfaces, openings and masked features. Geometry and coating thickness affect processing scope and the inspection plan.
Batch oven
Individual components and larger industrial parts.
High-speed line oven
Processing options reviewed for recurring production.
Part size review
Polymer coating capacity up to 196 inches long by 74 inches in diameter. Call about longer parts and material-specific processing.
APPLICATION REVIEW
ETFE for chemical protection and wear
ETFE industrial coating systems combine chemical resistance with abrasion resistance. For pump and valve components, wear conditions and finished dimensions must be reviewed alongside chemistry.
What helps qualify your part
Provide solids loading, wear locations, coating thickness and sealing or mating surfaces. ETFE and ECTFE are different materials and require approved substitution review.
New parts, repair and urgent requirements
Identify any existing coating to remove, substrate damage, masked features and the required completion date. Inspection and processing commitments are confirmed for the job.
Common questions
What should I send with a quote request?
Send the drawing, substrate, dimensions, quantity, coating product, required thickness, masked areas, service conditions, inspection requirements and deadline. Identify any existing finish that needs removal.
Request a quote
Tell ACS which material is specified and what your part needs. We will review the application, processing scope and schedule.
