During the late 1950’s and early 1960’s fluoropolymer plastics were used primarily for their non-stick / low coefficient of friction or insulating properties. Primary applications ranged from paint additives to wire insulation, bearing plates, gaskets and even non-stick frying pans. Edlon saw far greater possibilities. It envisioned harnessing the unique properties of fluoropolymers for alleviating customer’s processing problems in the areas of: corrosion-resistance, release characteristics and in high purity applications.

The company was the first to develop a fusion welding process capable of joining long-length fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). Then it introduced non-stick covers bonded onto paper mill dryer rolls, which eliminated many of the common problems associated with paper production such as picking, sticking and corrosion. Edlon also developed the process of fabricating iso-statically molded pipe and fitting linings from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Today, Edlon has extensive capacities to process a wide range of fluoropolymers through a huge variety of manufacturing techniques. We are unmatched in our knowledge and abilities to deliver innovative solutions, and in our capabilities to solve our customer’s most challenging problems.
