Material Description
Tefzel® ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) is a fluorocarbon-based polymer that provides both corrosion resistance and mechanical strength over a wide temperature range. As part of the fluoroplastic family, this material exhibits high chemical resistance, low and high temperature capability, resistance to weathering, low friction, and electrical and thermal insulation. In addition, Tefzel® ETFE offers high purity, good permeability resistance, and excellent abrasion resistance over a temperature range of -300°F to +300°F (-185°C to +150°C).
