Fluon® ETFE

About
Fluon®ETFE is a thermoplastic fluoropolymer developed by Asahi Glass. It is a copolymer comprising of tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4) and ethylene (C2H4). Fluon®ETFE is a balanced fluoropolymer that has chemical resistance and electrical propertiescomparable to typical fluoropolymers, such as PTFE, PFA and FEP and performs better than ECTFE or PVdF with its improved mechanical strength and very easy mouldability. Applications: Electrical cables Tubes Casing Filament Moulded parts Films&&
