Fluon® ETFE is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene.

ETFE compound grades are designed for applications where enhanced properties over natural ETFE are required e.g. improved wear resistance, reduced mould shrinkage, improved compressive resistance, increased flexural strength, flexural modulus, improved dimensional stability.

Fluon® ETFE has a wide operating temperature range (-180° to +150°C)
