Fluorotechnology (PFAS) products are critical for today’s safe and fuel-efficient trucks, buses and automobiles that rely on their unique, high-performance properties. From engines and brakes to fuel components and electronics, most modern automotive systems rely on Fluorotechnology’s durability and resistance to heat, chemicals and abrasion and vapor-barrier characteristics.
Fluoropolymer wire coatings increase the reliability of engine compartment wiring and gauges and improve auto safety by helping to reduce engine compartment fires. Fluoropolymers, including fluoroelastomers, enable chemical- and heat-resistant gaskets and O-rings, improving reliability and the length of time between maintenance and service. Cylinder head coatings and hoses made with Fluorotechnology increases fuel efficiency and reduce fugitive gasoline vapor emissions. Fluorotelomer-based surface treatments help protect automobile carpets and seats against stains, soil, oil and water.
