Fluon® ETFE (formerly known as Aflon® COP), resin is a melt-processible copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene. Fluon® ETFE possesses a unique combination of desirable properties such as high resistance to heat and chemical attack and outstanding physical toughness.
It is processible by conventional extrusion molding, injection molding, rotomolding, rotolining, and electrostatic coating. It is available in a variety of forms including 1/8” pellets.
Fluon® LM-ETFE is a modified ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) polymer. Fluon® LM-ETFE is different than most other ETFE materials in that it has a lower melting point (225°C versus 260°C for most ETFE), better chemical resistance and thermal stability, improved optical clarity, better flexibility, and a higher limiting oxygen index (40% versus 31%). It is processible by conventional extrusion and injection molding techniques. Rotomolding and rotolining grades are also available.
