subject: Fluoropolymer is used in everything, from heat exchangers to wiring insulation on jet planes [print this page] Many airplane manufacturers use fluoropolymers to shield and insulate wires in their planes, thus dramatically reducing the risks of plane material catching on fire, since fluoropolymers are so heat-resistant. Since the FEP and PTFE properties of this material are chemical resistant polymers, factory workers, dealing with dangerous hazard material such as alkaline or acidic chemicals, utilize this material in protective garments to avoid being burned or injured. The use of fluoropolymers are used throughout our everyday lives, and many of the tools and items we take for granted directly use this technology. Thank you Dr. Plunkett!
