Fluon® LM ETFE is a modified copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and
ethylene that can be processed by conventional thermoplastic techniques.

Fluon® LM ETFE combines the excellent performance of conventional ETFE with a lower melting point, improved thermal stability, increased flexibility, smoother surface finish and lower gas permeation properties.

Film with excellent transparency can be produced from Fluon® LM ETFE.

Fluon® LM ETFE has a wide operating temperature range (-180° to +150°C) and is supplied as solid, cylindrical, pellets.
