Fluoropolymers, as PVDF, FEP, PFA are used for lining of equipments, tanks, columns, vessels, reactors, heat-exchanging equipment. Having high characteristic of chemical resistance and possibility of using lining at high temperatures (up to +250?C), PTFE lining are widely used in different industries. Owing to easy weldability of PVDF, FEP, PFA sheets, it can be made lining for equipment with complex geometries. Lining with a sheets can be easy fixed and sticked to tanks and columns.
