AGC Fluon® TL-581 ETFE, powder
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; ETFE/ECTFE; Fluorocarbon ETFE/ECTFE, Molded/Extruded

Material Notes: Description: Fluon® ETFE is a melt-processable copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene. Fluon ETFE possesses a unique combination of desirable properties such as higher resistance to heat and chemical attack and outstanding physical toughness. Rotational molding and lining grades are designed to be free-flowing powders with particle morphologies necessary to uniformly coat the most challenging and complex parts.

Benefits:

  • High resistance to heat: Fluon ETFE has a continuous use temperature of 150°C.
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Outstanding physical toughness: Fluon ETFE has better physical properties than most other fluoropolymers.
  • Low smoke and flame characteristics: Fluon ETFE is rated 94 V-0 by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
  • Outstanding resistance to weather and aging
  • Good dielectric properties
  • Non-stick characteristics
Applications:
  • Rotational lined Chemical Process Industry (CPI) components for fluid handling such as valves, pumps, pipes, fittings, tanks and other complex design parts.
