Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE)

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
