The Holscot Group - Dicercity in Fluoroplastics

Holscot Fluoroplastics Ltd was formed in 1970, with a specific brief to explore the potential of the newly available melt processable fluoroplastics - https://holscot.com .
The original fluoroplastic material PTFE had been created many years before and was widely in use for a variety of applications. Its major drawback was that it was not possible to weld or thermoform it. For this reason, derivatives were created which were true thermoplastic copolymers of PTFE. They were melt processable i.e. in their molten state they could be extruded into tube and sheet products which themselves could be shaped under temperature or welded when molten.

All these materials – PTFE, FEP and laterally PFA and ETFE were created initially by Du Pont and carried the Teflon trade name. The first of the melt processable materials was FEP and it was this material on which Holscot centred its initial activities.

January 2001 - Holscot Industrial Linings changed its name to Holscot Fluoroplastics ltd.

Today the Holscot Group encompasses 6 Divisions each specialising in specific areas of expertise.
