Exploring Fluoropolymer Tapes: Did You Know? 🔍 Fluoropolymer-based tapes (e.g. Polytetrafluoroethylene - PTFE) are often overlooked but have remarkable properties that make them crucial for many industries. Known for their chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and non-stick surface, PTFE tapes are commonly used in aerospace, electrical insulation, plumbing & sealing applications and more. What sets these tapes apart is their ability to perform reliably under extreme conditions, offering durability, safety and versatility. ⚙️ ➡️ Discover fluoropolymers' other critical uses: https://lnkd.in/e8qznPrs #PTFE #Fluoropolymers #Innovation #Durability #AdvancedMaterials

How is FPG Leading the Way in Responsible Manufacturing? 🤔 At the 11th Polish Chemistry Congress, Cedric Triquet highlighted the essential role of fluoropolymers in critical industries. These advanced materials are not bioavailable and are highly stable. However, the FPG group remains committed to addressing any environmental concerns—that’s why FPG is reducing its emissions by the end of 2024 and beyond. Rather than blanket bans, we advocate for evidence-based regulations. By investing in emission management, FPG is reducing waste and minimising its environmental footprint—ensuring critical fluoropolymers remain a resource for the future of Europe’s strategic autonomy. ⬇️ Watch Cedric’s video for the full insights below. #Fluoropolymers #Sustainability #PolskaChemia #PIPCCongress Polska Izba Przemysłu Chemicznego More Information on the Manufacturing Programme: https://lnkd.in/eaE4y2kK 

Ursula von der Leyen called for a #CleanIndustrialDeal in her political priorities 🌳🏭🤝 Europe needs #Fluoropolmers to meet its industrial decarbonisation, growth and competitiveness goals. As we approach the upcoming EU Commissioners-designate hearings, we must ensure that these advanced materials are recognised for their critical uses in numerous sectors, including #Renewables, and #Infrastructure.

#Fluoropolymers: The Trusted Choice for Critical Applications ❗    Downstream users select fluoropolymers for their unparalleled safety, durability, and reliability in essential applications. While alternatives may exist for some products, they need thorough scientific assessment to ensure comparable safety and sustainability. Due to their unique chemical profile, fluoropolymers remain irreplaceable in applications where performance and longevity are key.    ➡️ Discover why fluoropolymers continue to be the top choice: https://lnkd.in/e8qznPrs   #Innovation #Sustainability #Durability #ResponsibleManufacturing   

The monthly FPG newsletters are back! 🌍💡 In this edition, we delve into how fluoropolymers are key to Europe's strategic autonomy. From semiconductors and 5G to clean energy and healthcare, these materials power critical technologies that keep Europe competitive, secure, and sustainable. This newsletter also covers regulatory updates and the latest fluoropolymer news, such as Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s call for a pragmatic approach to regulation, the impact of proposed PFAS restrictions on clean technologies, and the long-awaited Draghi report. ➡️ Read the full newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/e2tud6us #Fluoropolymers #StrategicAutonomy #Innovation #GreenTransition #Regulation #Sustainability #DraghiReport

✅ Fact check:  Fluoropolymers are NOT mobile or high-risk!    Unlike other chemicals, fluoropolymers are non-mobile in the environment and are safe for humans. Although fluoropolymers fit the PFAS structural definition, they have very different physical, chemical, environmental, and toxicological properties when compared with other PFAS.    ➡️ Let’s bust the myths and focus on facts about these advanced materials: https://lnkd.in/ewAtyeBZ   #Fluoropolymers #MythBusting #Safety #Sustainability #Innovation   

What material can industries trust when failure is not an option, and safety is critical? 🤔     Back in June, Cedric Triquet represented FPG at the 11th Polish Chemistry Congress (6-7 June 2024), organised by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry, where he emphasised the unique strengths of fluoropolymers. Unlike other PFAS, fluoropolymers are non-toxic, biocompatible, and incredibly stable, making them indispensable in industries where safety and reliability are paramount—such as medical implants and high-performance industrial applications. These materials stand up to the toughest demands, from life-saving surgeries to rigorous industrial processes. ⚙️     As a key to Europe’s strategic autonomy, fluoropolymers deliver the durability and resilience required across vital industries and infrastructure. At FPG, we’re focused on cutting emissions by 2024 and 2030, while advocating for proportionate science-based regulations, not blanket bans.     ⬇️ Watch Cedric’s full insights to understand why fluoropolymers are essential.     #Fluoropolymers #Sustainability #PolskaChemia #PIPCCongress #PFAS Polska Izba Przemysłu Chemicznego

🎤 Yesterday Cedric Triquet represented FPG at the AMI PFAS Workshop 2024, where he underscored the indispensable role of fluoropolymers in driving Europe's green transition. 🪴 Cedric highlighted how these advanced materials power critical technologies like clean energy and medical devices. He also emphasised the importance of a tailored, science-based regulatory approach that safeguards innovation while supporting sustainability. 🛡️ On behalf of FPG, Cedric restated our commitment to responsible manufacturing and environmental stewardship.
