                        NEOFLON                                           TM

                       Coating Powder

                      Introduction
                      NEOFLON Coating Powder is a high performance material
                      made from fluoropolymer resin.
                      Two kinds of NEOFLON Coating Powders, NEOFLON FEP,
                      and PFA Coating Powder, are available.
                      NEOFLON FEP Coating Powder is a fine powder made of
                      tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene copolymer and
                      NEOFLON PFA Coating Powder is a fine powder made of
                      tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkylvinylether copolymer.
                      NEOFLON FEP and PFA Coating Powder are low in melt
                      viscosity and excellent in melt fluidity which can give a
                      coating free of pinholes.
                      NEOFLON FEP and PFA are ideal for use as corrosion
                      resistant linings because of their excellent thermal and
                      chemical resistance properties.

1. Features of
   NEOFLON Coating
   Powder
    1-1 Processability   1) A thick coat can be obtained for lining purposes
                            When the appropriate processing conditions are selected, a coating
                            thickness can be obtained with NEOFLON Coating Powder.
                            The advantages of this are reduced processing time, and a superior
                            capability for use in heavy corrosion resistance application.
                            See table 1 for the thickness which can be obtained:

                         Table 1
                                                                         FEP (NC)        PFA (AC)

                                              (µm)

                         2) A wide range of processing conditions is possible
                            The temperature range for processing of NEOFLON Coating Powder is
                            320 ~ 360°C.
                            This wide range greatly facilitates processing.

                         3) Processing methods are extremely simple
                            The following general powdercoating methods are applicable.
                            z Electrostatic spray coating
                            z Spray coating
                            z Rotational molding
                            z Rotational lining

    1-2 Coating film     1) Excellent resistance to stress cracking
        properties       2) Excellent resistance to chemicals
                         3) Excellent thermal resistance
                         4) Excellent anti-stick property
                         5) Excellent electric property, weather resistance and incombustibility.

    of coating               Figure 1 and Table 6 show the results of chemical adsorption when
                             fluoropolymer coatings are immersed in chemicals for the condition
                             indicated.
                             Suitability of the coatings can be determined to a certain degree by the
                             adsorption curves shown in Figure 1.
                             As is shown in Table 6, the adsorption volume of NEOFLON is extremely
                             low in comparison to other fluoropolymer coatings.

4-2 Coating examples   1) Electrostatic coating
                              The higher the applied voltage the stronger the bonding force of powder
                              coating to the base material becomes, however electrostatic repulsion
                              occurs easily. It is, therefore, not advisable to increace the applied
                              voltage.
                              A voltage of 20 to 50 kV is recommended for electrostatic coating of
                              NEOFLON Coating Powder.
                              The surface temperature of the base material greatly affects the coating.
                              If the surface temperature for FEP is lower than 200°C and for PFA is
                              lower than 250°C, the volume resistivity increases and an electric charge
                              is accumulated, with the result that the powder will not easily adhere, due
                              to electrostatic repulsion. This means that the coating cannot be
                              thickened. Note that electrostatic repulsion may cause pin holes and
                              foaming.
                              The cooling speed of the preheated base material differs with the heat
                              volume of the base material (thickness of the base material if it is made
                              of the same material) and the surface area. And the processing time can
                              be obtained approximated by the following formula.
                                  Formula

2) Fluidized bed coating
   A preheated base material is immersed in the powder fluidized bed so
   the powder will melt and adhere to the base material, and then sintered
   intermediately.
   The desired film thickness can be obtained by repeating this process.
   Thickness uniformity is obtained during the final sintering.
   The coating thickness is greatly affected by the heat volume of the base
   material.

                          Coating thickness and number of
                          immersions

                          Processing conditions
                          Article preheating:       30 min at 380°C
                          Immersion time:           1 min./dip
                          Intermediate sintering:   15 min. at 360°C
                          Final sintering:          120 min. at 350°C

3) Other coating methods
   Apipes internal surface can be coated by Roto lining method. For each
   processing method, the process from coating to sintering is performed in
   the general processing sequence.

4) Repair
   Defective parts of the coated film can be repaired by a hot-air generator
   for welding resins (capable of heating to higher than 350°C) to melt the
   film or weld it by using a welding rod of NEOFLON FEP or PEA. Wider
   defective parts can also be repaired by NEOFLON Film.Note, the
   strength of repaired parts is, in general, lowered.
   For a black welding rod is needed spray NEOFLON NC-1539 (FEP) or
   AC-5539 (PFA) coating powder on an aluminium plate to a thickness of 1
   ~ 2mm thick and sinter it for an hour at 350°C ~ 360°C to make a film
   which is to be cut into small pieces to make welding rods. If the film
   cannot be easily separated from the aluminium plate, dip it in hot water
   for 1 ~ 2 hours or leave it for 2 ~ 3 days, after which it can be easily
   peeled off. While welding, check to be sure that there is no water.

                                                                          10

8. Cautions on      •Fluoroplastics
                    Although Fluoroplastics present no hazard under normal processing
   handling         conditions, these safe handling points should be followed:

                    • WARNING: VAPORS HARMFUL IF INHALED.
                      The work area should be adequately ventilated at all times because HF,
                      COF2 begin to be produced above the respective approximate
                      temperature: (PTFE·PFA=260°C, FEP=205°C). The volume of vapors
                      increases above the respective approximate temperature:
                      (PTFE·PFA=380°C, FEP=360°C). If a fluoroplastic is incinerated, the
                      acidic gases must be removed by alkaline scrubbing techniques.
                    • Personnel should be cautioned against inhaling the fumes liberated during
                      processing and provided with suitable protective equipment.
                    • Do not smoke in the work areas as harmful vapors and gases can be
                      produced if a Fluoroplastic becomes transferred onto tobacco.
                    • Avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes.
                    • Wash hands and face after handling.
                    • Waste generated during processing should be treated by waste treatment
                      specialists and disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local
                      waste disposal regulations.
