AKU®-FLON FEP and FEP/G as SHEETS and FOILS rolled, unlaminated or laminated on one sidewith  knitted glass fabric

Compared to pure PTFE, FEP (perfluoroethylene propylene copolymer) has a lower melt viscosity, higher impact strength, lower strength and rigidity, lower continuous service temperature, but comparable chemical and weather resistance, flammability and comparable electrical properties. FEP foils are weldable.

We also supply the matching welding rod.

Panels with protective film on both sides

All product designations with ®=reg. Product names are the property of the respective manufacturer

Foils made from FEP:

FEP foils are made of fluoroethylene propylene, a fluoropolymer produced by the copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP).
FEP is characterized by high transparency, flexibility and excellent electrical insulation properties.

Properties and applications:

  • Temperature resistance:
    FEP foils have a high temperature resistance and can be used at temperatures of up to 200°C without impairing their structural properties.

  • Chemical resistance:
    FEP is chemically inert and has excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, which makes it attractive for applications in the chemical industry.

  • Good dielectricity:
    FEP’s dielectric properties make it an excellent insulation material used in the electrical industry for cable sheathing and insulators.

  • Transparent:
    FEP foils are transparent and retain their clarity even after prolonged exposure to UV radiation.

  • Low friction:
    FEP is characterized by low friction, which makes it useful in applications with low frictional resistance and good sliding properties.
