ECTFE exhibits an extraordinary impact strength at temperatures ranging from -104 °F to +302 °F. A great part of the product properties attributes to the very smooth surface and differentiates it from other fluoropolymers. Due to the fact that ECTFE is very pure, this material is being used to process chemicals and ultrapure water for the semiconductor industry. Also the permeation resistance to oxygen, carbon dioxide, chlorine gas and hydrochlorid acid is 10 to 100 times better than PTFE.
Parts which come in contact with aggressive materials (machine-building industry), lining of tanks, pumps, flanges, fittings, parts in centrifuges and control engineering industry, valves seats and valve seals.
Characteristics:
Extremely high impact strength, high density
Good insulation properties
Very good weather resistance
High resistance to radiation
Very high chemical resistance
Self-extinguishing
Very good sliding properties
Very low moisture absorbtion
