AKU®-FLON ETFE SOLID RODS or ROUND BARS

ETFE resin combines a superior mechanical strength with a excellent chemical inertness, which comes close to that of fluoroplastic resins.
In addition, ETFE resistant to ultraviolet light.
It is easy to process and is characterized by a specific weight of 1.7 and a Resistance to high-energy radiation.
Due to their Self-cleaning non-stick surface
ETFE can heat-sealed, thermoformed, vacuum-formed, hot-bonded, welded, metallized and laminated . 
Due to its exceptional durability, and Antifouling properties It is used in outdoor architectural applications, greenhouses and solar cells.

ETFE for short, is a high-quality fluoropolymer plastic known for its exceptional properties in terms of chemical resistance, transparency, lightness and thermal stability.

Properties of ETFE:

  • Chemical resistance:
    ETFE shows excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents and aggressive industrial chemicals. This makes it suitable for use in demanding chemical environments.

  • Thermal stability:
    ETFE retains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, from around -200°C to +150°C. This thermal stability enables use in environments with extreme temperatures.

  • Weather resistance:
    ETFE is UV-resistant and shows good weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor applications without any degradation in material quality.

Applications of ETFE:

ETFE is used in various industries, including:

  • Chemical industry: Tanks, pipelines and fittings due to its chemical resistance.

  • Electronics industry: insulators, cable sheathing and other electrical components due to its electrical insulation properties.

  • Aerospace: Insulation materials, windows and components in applications with extreme temperatures.

ETFE is an innovative material that is used in various technical and architectural applications due to its special properties.
