Why Halar Coating Is the Right Choice for Your Next Industrial Project

Coatings for industrial applications must stand up to a tremendous array of conditions, from extreme temperatures and repeated stresses to continuous use and prolonged contact with moisture, solvents, corrosives, and other environmental hazards. Ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), best known under the brand name Halar, is one of the most durable coatings, designed to satisfy many industrial requirements.

What Is Halar?

Related to its more familiar cousin Teflon (PTFE), Halar is a crystal fluoropolymer coating that offers an extremely resilient, smooth surface. Innovative techniques offer waterborne applications for coating materials which cannot tolerate the higher curing temperatures of traditional coating methods.

Why Choose Halar Coatings

 Since its introduction in 1970, Halar has proven its superior, lasting performance in extreme conditions. Some of the characteristics which make it such an ideal, resilient coating for countless industrial needs include:

  • Extremely Smooth with Minimal Friction 
  • Coating Thickness: .010" to .040"
  • Excellent Electrical Resistance
  • Superior Resistance to Impacts & Abrasions
  • Excellent Resistance to Chemicals & Corrosives with pH tolerance from 1 to 14
  • Minimal Moisture Absorption
  • High Purity
  • Extreme Temperature Tolerance of –105F to +300F
  • Fire Resistance
  • UV Resistance
  • Weldable

Common Industrial Uses of Halar

Halar's extreme durability and its ability to perform well under a wide range of extreme conditions makes it suitable for numerous industrial applications, including:

  • Precision electronics including semiconductor manufacturing
  • Cams, bearings, valves, and other uses where minimal friction is needed
  • High-pressure mining environments
  • Ductwork, including exhaust ductwork
  • Pharmaceutical and Medical applications such as catheters and UV sterilizers
  • Piping, and tubing 
  • Centrifuges
  • Hazardous chemical and corrosive processing, storage, and transport
  • Cable jacketing, including microelectronics, aircraft wiring, and RF cables
