With the long lead times/shortages for FEP heat shrink tubing in the marketplace, we have had quite a few customers inquire about converting their machines to high temp (HT)/corrosion resistance (CR), so they could make their fluoropolymer products. This transition is an expensive proposition, and one would have to weigh the costs of modifying or purchasing a new machine based on capacity constraints and other factors.
Check out Graham Engineering’s latest White Paper, “High-Temperature & Corrosion Resistance Extruder Conversion – Does it Make Sense?”
See the below link for the full white paper.
