Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) is a fluorine-based plastic. It was designed to have high corrosion resistance and strength over a wide temperature range. ETFE is a polymer and its source-based name is poly(ethene-co-tetrafluoroethylene). ETFE has excellent mechanical properties, strength, and tear resistance combined with chemical resistance and outstanding electrical and thermal properties. It is particularly...
Polyvinylidene fluoride or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the polymerization of vinylidene difluoride. PVDF is a specialty plastic used in applications requiring the highest purity, as well as resistance to solvents, acids, and hydrocarbons. PVDF includes low smoke generation, no flame development, mechanical strength...
Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA) are fluoropolymers. They are copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4) and perfluoro ethers (C2F3ORf, where Rf is a perfluorinated group such as trifluoromethyl (CF3)). The properties of these polymers are similar to those of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) It is melt-processable and can be used in a wide range of operating temperatures. PFA is highly resistant to chemicals, aging,...
Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene. It is a transparent polymer that remains elastic at low temperatures. FEP is highly resistant to chemicals, as well as to aging and climatic influences. This polymer also boasts good dielectric properties with a minimal dielectric constant. A small friction coefficient...
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene PTFE is a thermoplastic polymer, which is a white solid at room temperature, with a density of about 2200 kg/m3 and a melting point of 600 K (327 °C; 620 °F).It maintains high strength, toughness, and self-lubrication at...
