Fluoropolymers (PFA, FEP, PVDF, PCTFE, ECTFE, ETFE)

Fluoropolymers are a group of materials that have similar properties to PTFE, but are melt processable. These materials have excellent chemical resistance, elevated operating temperatures, and very good Dielectric properties. They are generally stronger and more rigid than unfilled PTFE, and have better thermal stability.

Melt processable Fluoropolymers can be produced utilizing Extrusion or Injection Molding methods.

What are the Benefits of Fluoropolymers?

Improved Strength
Toughness
Excellent Chemical Resistance
Good performance in Steam
Better Thermal Stability than PTFE
Production flexibility

What are the Typical Applications of Flouropolymers?

Valve Seats Poppets

Spools Bushings

Pump Wear Rings Washers

Packing Rollers

Nozzles Insulators

Connectors Cases

Seals Piston Rings

Abradable Shrouds Manifolds
