AFT Fluorotec can offer a range of chemical resistant coatings for laboratory equipment. Application of a chemical resistant coating to a machined aluminium component will offer chemical resistance to laboratory chemicals used in pharmaceutical and research applications. The PTFE coating offers chemical resistance, and a non wetting surface, plus an enhanced visual appearance.
The colour can be tailored to suit the requirements of your product, and offer an additional feature and benefit over anodising or painting. AFT Fluorotec Coatings can offer chemical resistant coatings for laboratory equipment in green, light blue, red, dark blue, grey and black. The coating thickness can be tailored to suit your engineering requirements and also the application, if more concentrated chemicals are to be used.
The chemical resistant coatings will enhance the life of the component through resistance to chemical attack, and offer you a competitive advantage over your competitor product offerings. The chemical resistant coating in PTFE and or PFA can be used continuously at 260 degrees C therefore allowing the chemical resistant coating to be used on stirrer shafts, heater bowls and heated plates. Chemical resistance remains even at these elevated temperatures.
Chemical resistant coatings from AFT Fluorotec can also offer resistance and protection from permeation where the chemicals come into contact with the components for longer periods of time.
AFT Fluorotec have sample pads of coating types available on request, these will allow you to see colour options and feel the coated surface of the aluminium.
AFT Fluorotec can also offer a chemical resistant coating that can be applied to glass.
These coatings can serve the additional purpose of offering a containment method of the glass in the event of a breakage.
