Amorphous Fluoropolymers for High-Performance Applications
Engineered for Demanding Performance
The CyclAFlor® family of amorphous fluoropolymers delivers a powerful combination of optical clarity, chemical and thermal resistance, and tunable gas permeability — making them ideal for today’s most challenging high-technology applications.
Our specialty materials are used in a wide range of sectors that demand reliability and high performance:
- semiconductors and electronics
- dielectric coatings
- gas separation membranes
- clean energy and hydrogen production
- stereolithographic 3D printing
- optical fibers and waveguides
- digital microfluidics
Key Material Properties
- Transparent from deep ultraviolet to near infrared wavelengths
- Chemically inert to aggressive solvents and corrosives
- Hydrophobic and oleophobic surface properties
- Thermally stable at elevated processing temperatures
- Selectively permeable for gas separation and filtration
- Soluble in perfluorinated solvents for coatings and thin films
- Biocompatible for use in medical devices and diagnostic systems
Built to Your Specs
Instead of fitting your challenge to a material, we tailor the material to your challenge.
Legacy amorphous fluoropolymers like CYTOP® and Teflon™ AF offered exciting new properties when introduced decades ago, but they were products in search of applications. Users often had to “make do” with their limitations. Chromis took a different approach and developed CyclAFlor with end-uses in mind. Our specialty polymers are engineered for specific performance in semiconductors, optics, clean energy, and medical technologies. Instead of fitting your application to the capabilities of an off-the-shelf product, we tailor CyclAFlor to your requirements. That means you get materials optimized from the start, delivering better performance and alignment with your technical and commercial goals.
