Product description
WHAT IS HALAR® FLUOROPOLYMER?
HALAR, one of the most chemically resistant fluoropolymers, is a melt process thermoplastic manufactured by Kurt J Lesker Company. Due to its chemical structure, a 1:1 alternating copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene, HALAR (ECTFE) offers a unique combination of useful properties.
Filtration Systems HALAR fluoropolymer lined housings are ideal for demanding liquid filtration applications. They provide excellent chemical and abrasion resistance with a broad-use temperature range. HALAR does not contaminate high purity fluids and is virtually unaffected by most corrosive chemicals commonly encountered in industry, including strong mineral and oxidizing acids, alkalies, metal etchants, liquid oxygen, and some organic solvents.
WHY USE FILTRATION SYSTEMS HALAR LINED HOUSINGS?
- Offers a broad range of chemical resistance properties, which are useful when filtering liquids that are incompatible with stainless or carbon steel
- Assures a seamless filtering environment, ideal for high-purity applications
- Provides a safe alternative to plastic housings, allowing wider parameters of pressure and temperature ratings for liquid filtration
- Resists peeling and is extremely durable
Filtration Systems individual vessels are specially prepared to receive the HALAR fluoropolymer coating. Lined housings are sanitary design with interior polished finish, and have flanged connections. Multiple coats of HALAR are electrostatically applied to the internal wetted surfaces of our housings, as well as most baskets and accessories, and then baked in a controlled, high temperature oven for curing.
Since we manufacture our filter vessels in-house, Filtration Systems is able to provide consistent, reliable products, fabricated to tight tolerances in a controlled environment. HALAR lined housings meet our strict criteria, including visual inspection and high-voltage, spark test for certification. Our Certificate of Warranty assures complete coating of HALAR on all internal, wetted surfaces of the filter vessel. For an additional charge, the exterior of the housing may be dusted with overspray to provide environmental or spill protection.
