AGC Fluon® C-88AXP ETFE
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. It is processable by conventional extrusion, injection molding, roto-molding, roto-lining, and electrostatic coating. It is available in a variety of forms including 1/8” pellets, designated as ‘P’, and powder, designated as ‘B’.

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:
  • Wire & cable (automotive, industrial, aerospace, transit, and appliance markets)
  • Film and sheets
  • Tubing and pipe
  • Electronic components
  • Electrostatic and roto-molded vessel linings
  • Valves, fittings, and pump housings
