Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene
Reprocessed ETFE
What is ETFE?
ETFE is a melt processable copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. It has the highest level of mechanical toughness in the fluoroplastic family, with superior creep and outstanding corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range.
Operating temperatures:
Up to 150°C (302°F)
Typical applications:
- Jacketing for aerospace wire and cable, architectural, and aerospace films
- Cable ties for harsh environments
- Injection molded parts requiring combined properties of excellent mechanical strength and harsh chemical resistance at high temperatures
