Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene
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.
