Resists Corrosion TEFLON® fluorocarbon resins are unsurpassed in fighting corrosion. Inert to virtually every type of chemical, TEFLON® is an ideal material for handling corrosive media. Unlike graphite, TEFLON® contains no binders to leach out in corrosive solutions. Resists Fouling The well-known non-stick properties of TEFLON® help minimize fouling and scaling that would reduce heat transfer rates of metal and graphite. When necessary, units can usually be cleaned on-site with minimal downtime. Resists Shock TEFLON® material is resistant to damage resulting from mechanical and thermal shock; outperforms glass and graphite. If necessary, repairs can usually be performed on-site by plant personnel.
