Solve problems. Improve reliability. Reduce downtime.

FluoroGrip^® fluoropolymer linings and films are superior to traditional high performance coatings, coupled with their ease of installation and easier to use than traditional linings. FluoroGrip^® delivers the technical edge to solve problems, resulting in lower costs and reduced downtime.

Integument offers a family of fluoropolymer based, engineered systems for immersion service, splash and spill paint replacements and secondary containment:

• Fluoropolymer films and sheets of ECTFE (Halar®), PVDF (Kynar®), HD-FEP (Teflon®) , PTFE, MFA and PFA (Hyflon®). The material is surface modified in our proprietary plasma treatment to allow the use of adhesive and coatings as components of the engineered systems.
• Fluoroelastomer edge sealants and caulks to "tie-in" and seal the films and sheets.
• Epoxy-novalac, vinyl ester, elastomeric urethane toppings for use over our film based membranes in traffic areas.
• Specialty welding equipment as accessories for welding films down to 10 mils in thickness.

Superior performance and reliability

• Temperature resistance to 450°F
• Withstands thermal shock and cycling
• Superior chemical resistance
• High reliability in the widest range of environments
• Quality-controlled manufacturing assures uniform thickness
• Solid sheet design assures consistent coverage, even on edges and corners
• Remains effective over expanding and contracting substrates such as concrete, due to superior elongation properties
• Systems engineered for ease of inspection and repair

The peel and stick advantage
Due to our advanced surface activation science and adhesive technologies, FluoroGrip^® adheres to clean surfaces without the need for primers or extensive surface preparations. Application is simple:

• Surface is cleaned and degreased to remove contaminants
• Release liner is peeled from the back of the FluoroGrip® film.
• Exposed adhesive side is then applied to the material surface by hand or mechanical pressure.
• Bonds immediately with 90% set in 24 hours.
• May be modified on both sides of the film to enable top coating, layering or wrapping of the film.
• 2-year plus shelf life.

Easier to install

• Applied in a single application process
• No multi-coats or reinforced materials required
• Minimal surface preparation
• Easier and faster clean-up; no spilled coatings or solvents
• Can be applied in environments not suitable for traditional coatings

Safer

• No VOCs or hazardous solvents
• Safer to apply, reducing potential workplace hazards
• No need for solvent-related protective clothing and equipment
• Environmentally safer for handling and shipping
• Eliminates disposal of hazardous waste
• No special storage requirements

Less cost

• Reduce labor and installation costs
• Reduce downtime costs
• No costly waste disposal
• No expensive application equipment required
• Eliminate overspray waste and damage
• Prevents failures associated with multi-layered systems
• Lower cost per year of service
