- Dipping
- Spraying.
- Brushing.
- Flood-Coating.
- Curtain-Coating.
- K-bar Coating.
- Hypodermic or other nozzle ‘spotting’.
Dipping, where practical, is preferred as equipment is available commercially which handles parts automatically and effectively recovers the solvent during drying of the coating.
Note: Where feasible, recovered solvent can be returned to F2 Chemicals for re-use.
Post-baking of dried films is not necessary.
Application equipment can be cleaned with any of the range of FLUTEC perfluorocarbon liquids.
