Rapra Industry Analysis Report, 2001
By J. Scheirs, ExcelPlas Australia
Fluoropolymers are high-performance polymers that occupy a diverse range of end-use applications, many of which cannot be satisfied by any other materials. Typical uses for fluoropolymers include electrical insulation, chemically resistant coatings, bearings, non-stick surfaces, O-rings, gaskets, seals, and linings for containers, pipes and hoses. These applications depend on one or more of the unique features displayed by the fluoropolymers. The increasing use of fluoropolymers in such dynamic industries as wire and cable insulation, automotive, aerospace, oil and gas recovery and semiconductor manufacture has led to significant material developments and trends in the last few years. New fluoropolymers have been introduced to the market (amorphous fluoroplastics, modified PTFE, low-temperature fluoroelastomers and amine-resistant fluoroelastomers) expanding the already broad slate of applications.
This Rapra Industry Analysis Report gives an overview of the fluoropolymer industry. The major commercial fluoropolymers are considered in turn with discussion of aspects of material performance, applications and markets. This is accompanied by discussion of the many and varied end-use markets for fluoropolymers. Estimates are provided for production figures and trends, and the analysis describes the major trends in end use. The latest technologies are identified as are the major suppliers of these materials.
Profiles of the major fluoropolymer suppliers are also included.
