Fluoropolymers ( PFA, FEP, TefzelÒ ETFE, HalarÒ ECTFE, KynarÒ PVDF)
Fluoropolymers are semi crystalline thermoplastics that offer unsurpassed chemical
resistance properties, purity and electrical insulating characteristics. They have good
resistance to elevated temperatures (up to 500° F) but tend to
have lower mechanical properties than most engineering grade thermoplastics. They were
developed to be economical injection moldable alternatives to the originating
fluoropolymer TeflonÒ PTFE.
