Device for Fluorination

Offline method

• Fluorination treatment of three-dimensional parts
• Influence of surface properties, such as surface tension, permeation and sliding properties
• High environmental compatibility
• Treatment which is beneficial to the product
• Improved economic application
• Use of a 10:90 mixture of fluorine and nitrogen
• Fluorine mixture is diluted down to the concentration designed for the product

Inline method

• Fluorination of web material in a continuous process
• Method suitable for fluorination of films, fabrics and foams of different material backgrounds
• The maximum width and thickness of the material are limited by the system being used
• The length of the materiál is solely limited by the winding unit being used.
• Fluorination can achieve special effects as regards polarity and long term stability, which could not be achieved using alternative methods
• Optical measurement in the UV range is applied to monitor fluorine concentration

• The material is fed continuously into the treatment chamber via a hermetic chamber system
• Inside the treatment chamber, fluorine concentration profile and process temperature are adjusted to the specific product and application characteristics
• Treatment duration is defined by the length of the active treatment section inside the chamber and the material feed rate

Quality management

• Defined parameter sets
• Defined process - the process during fluorination is fully automated
• Documentation - the process is fully documented
• Measurement of the surface tension - the surface tension can be measured using either a wetting angle measuring unit or with test inks according to DIN ISO 8296.
