Fluoro-Coat™ 200

Now available to the paper industry- Field applied roll coatings with excellent release.  Resulting from a two year development effort, this product can be field applied in less time than conventional roll coverings made with Teflon®.  This coating is ideal for rolls subject to mechanical damage.

 

"Fluoro-Coat 200™" Advantages:

• Ideal for dryers
• Ideal for pressure sensitive "stickies"
• Offers an alternative to doctoring
• Size press hoods and nozzles
• Curable at normal temperatures
• Saves costly downtime
• Not subject to build-up
• Field applied
• Continuous service at 350ºF
• Intermittent service at 450ºF

 Fluoro-Coat 200

 

"Fluoro-Coat 200™"


"Fluoro-Coat 200™" is a completey different chemistry.  It is polymerized to release "stickies", such as duct tape that sticks to DuPont's Teflon® finishes.  You have to see the release characteristics to believe it.  Try the duct tape test!


"Fluoro-Coat 200™" field applied coating tests are underway in comparison to coatings made with Teflon® that must be baked at 700ºF at an applicator's plant.


"Fluoro-Coat 200™" is one of six new state-of-the-art products and technologies of the paper industry which are recent additions to Fluoron's complete line of coatings, heat-shrinkable tubing, including roll covers made with Teflon® and anti-static material, and UHMW-PE sheeting.

Fluoro-Coat™ X-550

What is "Fluoro-Coat" X-550?  This coating is made with PTFE resin and has as good a release as other coatings made with Teflon® and heat shrinkable tubing products. The "Fluoro-Coat"™ X-550 is sprayed on while the dryer is rotating slowly, then the steam is turned into the dryer and it is heated to maximum temperature.  It requires a minimum of 250º F to harden the coating.

"Fluoro-Coat" X-550 has the release characteristics of Teflon® and is the result of a five-year development effort. X-550 can be applied to the dryer and cured on site and can be field applied in less time than conventional dryer sleeves made with Teflon® FEP. This coating is ideal for dryers, even those subject to mechanical damage from pike poles

X-550 was developed to overcome the three major shortcomings of dryer covers made with Teflon® FEP:

  • The life of the dryer cover is dependent upon the adhesive bond of the cover to the dryer.  This bond deteriorates with time and deteriorates faster as temperature increases. X- 550 is good for continuous service up to 550ºF (288ºC).
  • When a dryer cover is cut or damaged with a pike pole, it needs to be replaced.  An X- 550 coating, when cut with a knife or pike pole, barely shows any damage and does not cause bond breakage leading to premature failure.
  • X-550 is durable enough to be applied as a coating, thereby having as much as 20-fold improvement in heat transfer as compared to a roll cover.

"Fluoro-Coat"™ X-550 Advantages:

• Ideal for dryers
• Less expensive than dryer covers
• Withstands pike pole damage
• Field applied and cured
• Saves costly downtime
• Not subject to build-up
• Continuous service at 550ºF
• Offers an alternative to doctoring
Field applied coating

Fluoro-Coat™ X-550 can also be used to prevent startch build-up on spray nozzles in the press section. Build-up on nozzles can cause imperfections in the sheet or even cause breaks after a large accumulation falls.

*Both of these coatings are an alternative to doctoring and should not be applied to dryers that must be doctored.
