Anti-Corrosive FluoroGrip® Appliqué |
| MDA Use |
Integument was funded to develop appliqué materials with embedded corrosion sensors for use on MDA structures located in warm, humid, and salty environments like the South Pacific. |
| Description |
 The technology provides corrosion protection in the form of a thin, flexible material that has an adhesive on one side, which bonds to the surface being covered. Based on fluoropolymers, it is resistant to many chemicals and extreme temperatures, and is environmentally friendly. A patented surface-activation process with cold gas plasma treatment modifies the surface of the fluoropolymer and allows bonding with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, creating a unique peel-and-stick capability. |
| Transfer / Insertion Opportunity |
Anti-corrosive FloroGrip® appliqué offers superior mechanical-, thermal-, and chemical/environmental–resistance properties to those of paints and can be applied on other polymers, adhesives, ceramics, coatings, composites, and metals. It reduces the cleaning and maintenance requirements of
- Public works (building walls, highway overpasses, bridges)
- Military
