[0002] Tetrafluoroethylene is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene, abbreviated as PTFE. PTFE lining is a lining material made of polytetrafluorodiene. It is a durable and reliable material used in various fields such as the transportation of corrosive fluid media and industrial pure water, chemical pure water, ionized water, and deionized water. Fluorine material has stable chemical properties and is resistant to high temperatures, wear, aging, and strong corrosion. It is widely used in chemical production reactors, towers, and pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment for conveying media.

The effect of Example 2 is the best. According to the needs of the lined container, Example 2 polishes the inner wall of the steel shell until it reaches the required grade of the lining. After the polishing residue on the inner wall of the steel shell is cleaned, a high-temperature adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the steel shell. The fluorine material rod is then turned into a thin strip and wound onto the mold, which is then put into the furnace for sintering. The lining material is then expanded outward from the mold to be demoulded. The detached lining material is cleaned and then evenly coated with fluoride adhesive on the lining material. The operator evacuates and pressurizes the air in the gap between the lining material and the steel shell. The lining material is then heated, plasticized, and shaped, and subjected to a water pressure test. The electric spark detection instrument then detects cracks, defects, and fatigue on the surface of the lining material. An alarm can be issued if an abnormality is detected, and finally the PTFE lining material is tightly bonded to the steel shell.
