Fluorinated Polyethylene

(3.5 Reviews)
  • Fluorinated HDPE plastic containers are widely used in a vast array of consumer products. EPA has initiated investigations into the source of the contamination, and other states are evaluating whether and to what extent fluorinated compounds may leach from HDPE containers into pesticide and consumer products.
Fluorination is the process that enables plastic containers to be used to package many different chemicals and solvents that otherwise could only be packaged in glass. Without fluorination, plastic containers can panel, distort, and lead to product deterioration.
