Thermoforming and Welding Fluoropolymers

Fluoron’s expansive portfolio includes custom fluoropolymer components, such as:

• Loose liners for simple shaped structures with positive pressure conditions. For larger structures, components can be joined with our fluoropolymer welding system.
• Bonded liners for structures with simple or complicated shapes and vacuum or positive pressure conditions.
• Thermoforming for structures with complicated shapes under vacuum or positive pressure conditions, with no welds or seams. Provides maximum permeation resistance and is field repairable.

Fluoropolymer tank liners are an essential component in a variety of industrial applications where chemical resistance, high temperature stability, and non-stick properties are required. These liners are custom made to meet the specific requirements of each application, providing a durable, long-lasting solution to protect tanks and containers from the harsh effects of chemicals and high temperatures. In this article, we will examine the uses and applications of custom fluoropolymer tank liners.

1. Chemical Processing: Fluoropolymer tank liners are ideal for use in chemical processing applications where corrosive chemicals are stored and transported. The chemical resistance of these liners makes them an excellent solution for protecting tanks from the harsh effects of strong acids and bases, solvents, and oils.
2. Food and Pharmaceutical Processing: Fluoropolymer tank liners are commonly used in food and pharmaceutical processing applications due to their non-stick properties and ability to minimize material buildup. This makes them ideal for use in containers used to store and transport food and pharmaceutical products.
3. Aerospace and Military: Fluoropolymer tank liners are ideal for use in aerospace and military applications due to their resistance to extreme temperatures and harsh environments. This makes them suitable for use in aircraft fuel tanks, military vehicles, and other applications where high performance and durability are required.
4. Waste Management: Fluoropolymer tank liners are commonly used in waste management applications due to their chemical resistance and high temperature stability. This makes them ideal for use in waste containment and transportation containers, where they provide protection from corrosive chemicals and high temperatures.
5. Mining and Mineral Processing: Fluoropolymer tank liners are used in a variety of applications in the mining and mineral processing industries. Their chemical resistance makes them ideal for use in tanks and containers used to store and transport mineral slurry and other corrosive materials.

When it comes to custom fluoropolymer tank liners, the options are endless. These liners can be made to meet specific application requirements, such as custom sizes, thicknesses, and even color. In addition, the manufacturing process for these liners is highly customizable, allowing for the creation of liners with specific properties, such as anti-static additives or fire retardant materials.

In conclusion, custom fluoropolymer tank liners are a highly versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Their combination of chemical resistance, high temperature stability, and non-stick properties make them an ideal solution for protecting tanks and containers from the harsh effects of chemicals and high temperatures. Whether you need a liner for chemical processing, food and pharmaceutical processing, aerospace and military applications, waste management, or mining and mineral processing, custom fluoropolymer tank liners are the solution you need.
