Fluorination

Fluorination is an advanced surface technology that is used in various industries to specifically modify material surfaces. In this process, fluorine gas is applied to the surface, causing a specific chemical reaction with the existing materials. This method is used in particular in the production of high-performance materials.

The fluorination process offers a number of advantages. One of the main advantages is the improvement of surface properties, especially in terms of hydrophobicity and oleophobicity. By introducing fluorine atoms to the surface, a water and oil repellent layer is created, which is of great benefit in various applications. This is used, for example, in textiles, packaging materials and medical technology.

Fluorination also helps to improve the chemical resistance of materials. By modifying the surface structure, materials become more resistant to aggressive chemicals and environmental influences. This is particularly important in the chemical industry or for applications that require high chemical resistance.

Another area of application for fluorination is in the electronics and semiconductor industry. Here, this technology is used to optimize the surface properties of components and, for example, to improve the adhesion of soldered joints.

Overall, fluorination as a surface technology offers a targeted way of influencing the properties of material surfaces and adapting them to the requirements of various branches of industry. The resulting modified surfaces help to increase the performance and service life of products.
