Europe’s defence and security depend on resilient industrial value chains, advanced manufacturing and reliable access to high-performance materials. Fluoropolymers play an important role in this context, supporting the technologies and industrial systems that underpin Europe’s strategic autonomy, preparedness and industrial resilience.

Fluoropolymers help defence and security technologies perform safely and reliably in demanding conditions, protecting critical components from heat, fuels, chemicals, humidity, vibration and compression.

They support resilient European value chains and reliable access to high-performance materials needed for strategic autonomy, preparedness and long-term system readiness.
