The high weatherability and anti-stain properties of Algoflon® D PTFE Dispersions play a key role in this application.

These dispersions are used to impregnate glass or plastic fabrics for producing flexible structures for the roofing of wide areas, such as sport stadiums or tent structures.

Algoflon® D PTFE Dispersions are currently utilized for the impregnation of fabrics (both woven and non-woven) and fibers for filtration, thanks to their exceptional general properties and in particular their chemical resistance and water repellency.

Algoflon® D PTFE Dispersions are used to impregnate glass fiber fabrics for the production of printed circuit boards. They are also utilized to produce thin and flexible films (e.g. via cast-film technology) with high dielectric strength, low dissipation factor and non-flammability for coils and phase insulation on motors, transformers, relays and switches.

Algoflon® D PTFE Dispersions for impregnation are currently used in the manufacture of conveyors belts for the food industry, while Algoflon® D Dispersions for coatings are successfully utilized in formulations for cookware coatings.

Algoflon® D PTFE Dispersion is the ideal hydrophobization agent for gas diffusion layers (GDL) of fuel cells. It shows:

• Exceptional low surface energy, whereby the water-contact angle is very high, providing the desired low water wettability
• Universal chemical inertness
• Optimum thermal resistance (up to 260°C)

These outstanding characteristics assure long lasting and hydrophobic properties when applied onto GDL.
