Composite fluoropolyers handle challenging situations
AGC Chemicals Americas
Fluon ETFE is a melt-processable copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene that is designed for a wide variety of challenging applications, including tubing and pipe, wire and cable coatings, semiconductor and electronic components, valves, fittings, and pump housings (photo). To optimize chemical resistance and engineering performance, three Fluon ETFE compounds are reinforced with proprietary conductive, strengthening and reinforcing fillers and fibers, which allow itl to tolerate extreme temperatures, pressures, harsh chemicals and volatile weather conditions, and to remain flexible and withstand cracking during manufacturing, spooling and use.— AGC Chemicals Americas Inc., Exton, Pa.
