Introduction
Diflon Technology specialises in PTFE applications. Diflon’s decadelong experience has allowed the company’s engineers to develop a complete production program for the delivery of PTFE-lined pipes, connections, flexible joints, expansion joints, columns and tanks, as well as machined PTFE components.
Processes
Tanksline columns and tanks can be employed in various processes,such as:
washing
destillation or rectification
absorption columns for Hcl/Hbr, etc.
liquid extraction
reactors
storage tanks.

The demand for multi-purpose plants in the chemical and electronic industries, the latest pollution control standards, the excellent anticorrosive and non-stick properties of PTFE, combined with the positive experience accumulated over many years, have led Diflon Technology S.r.l. to publish this catalogue.
Applications
The application range of PTFE-lined columns is from -10°C to +200°C. However, under particularly harsh operating conditions such as those involving high and sudden pressure and temperature changes, or in case of special shapes, etc. these application limits become narrower. The maximum operating pressure is 6 bar; special engineering solutions must be studied for vacuum applications. The Tanksline PTFE lining is obtained from virgin materials which are then processed with particular techniques to guarantee high hydrophobicity and dimensional stability. The PTFE linings are available in thicknesses from 3 to 5 mm. The well-known non-stick properties of PTFE ensure high resistance to fouling and excellent cleanliness, as a result reducing or even eliminating downtimes.
