General description: ECTFE is a semi-crystalline copolymer made from ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene. In addition to good mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, this fluoroplastic has excellent chemical resistance. ECTFE can be injection-moulded or processed using thermoplastic extrusion. Characteristics and properties: - High elongation at break
- Very high impact resistance
- Good resistance to stress cracking, even in contact with lyes, chlorine, and alkaline media
- Low permeation of liquids, gases, and vapours
- Very good resistance to weather and radiation
- Low coefficient of linear thermal expansion in comparison with other fluoroplastics
