We are pleased to celebrate another year of existence. 38 years of challenges, achievements and a lot of teamwork! Success does not happen by chance or luck, it is the result of competent and talented professionals who accept the challenge of overcoming obstacles and fighting to be better every day. We thank and congratulate eachRead more

Through our associate TALUS Robotics we contribute to the development of solutions that improve safety conditions for workers and users of public services. Another innovative project – Autonomous robot, with ultraviolet radiation lamps to disinfect closed environments. Video available at: https://www.jn.pt/nacional/videos/robo–12479058.htmlRead more

We present an example of application of one of our anti-corrosion coating systems,  FLUCOAT 008, on a galvanized steel heat exchanger of 2230x1500x180 mm. FLUCOAT 008 coating properties: High chemical resistance; Easy-clean/ maintenance; Low coefficient of friction; Good non-stick; Maximum continuous use temperature 180ºC; Approved for food contact; Particularly indicated for coating substrates where theRead more

ETFE is a melt-processable copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene. It has a combination of properties such as high heat & chemical resistance & physical toughness. ETFE vs ECTFE Both polymers exhibit good overall mechanical and electrical properties; ETFE shows higher degradation temperature, thermal stability, melting point and larger processing window. ETFE generally has better chemicalRead more

This month, we successfully completed another technical challenge in the pharmaceutical industry: the coating of several components of industrial centrifuges. This four-month project encompassed all critical phases – initiation, planning, execution, and closure – and involved collaboration with some of our trusted partners. The project consisted of recovering centrifuges previously coated by FLUPOL. After removingRead more

Based on Sol-Gel Technology, FLUCOAT 735 is a ceramic coating system applied by FLUPOL. This system is PFAS-free and available on the market. It displays features that go beyond functionality: NON-STICK and DECORATION The photo illustrates this same complicity, where as a result of necessity, the easy cleaning provided by the non-stick coating is combinedRead more

From November 1st 2015, FLUPOL became a public limited company. For the moment nothing else changes, except designation: FLUPOL – Surface Engineering S.A. With this new step, FLUPOL expects to be able to improve capacity of creating value together.Read more

FLUPOL is a member of the Technical Committee (TC) 194 on Nanotechnologies, created by the PToNANO consortium through the IPQ (Portuguese Institute of Quality). The purpose of this technical body is the development of standardization documents and issuing regulatory opinions in the field of nanotechnology. Parties with interest in a technical field within the scope of action of this body, can participate on a voluntary basis.

On 15 January 2018, the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto honored FLUPOL for the relevance of the existing cooperation between company and academia.Read more

FLUPOL recently completed the installation of a photovoltaic solar energy system at its facilities. This initiative aims to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and minimize the environmental impact of its operations, reinforcing the company’s commitment to the energy transition. The installed system has photovoltaic panels, capable of converting solar radiation into electrical energy withRead more
