Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) is a high-performance fluoropolymer combining exceptional chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. It offers greater toughness and processability than many other fluoropolymers while retaining excellent resistance to corrosion, UV, and weathering, making it ideal for demanding industrial, chemical, and architectural applications.
Key Properties:
Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, compatible with acids, bases, and solvents
High mechanical strength and impact resistance
Wide service temperature range, typically –100°C to +150°C
Outstanding UV and weathering resistance for long-term outdoor use
Low permeability to gases and liquids
Good electrical insulation properties and flame resistance
Easily processed by extrusion, molding, and film fabrication
Common Applications:
Wire and cable insulation for chemical and outdoor environments
Tubing, liners, and protective films for chemical processing and corrosion-resistant systems
Architectural films, panels, and facades
Pumps, valves, and fluid-handling components
Industrial hoses and gaskets exposed to harsh chemicals
Aerospace and automotive components requiring chemical resistance and durability
