ETFE (Ethylene-Tetrafluorethylene) is a partly fluorinated copolymer. Compared to PTFE, ETFE is slightly harder and has a reduced density.
Properties
Temperature of continuous use ranges from – 50 °C (-58°F) to + 160 °C (+320°F)
Good chemical stability
Good mechanical properties
Very good stability to high-energy rays
Very smooth and easy to clean anti-adhesive surfaces
High pressure resistance at room temperature
Weldable
Nonflammable (UL 94: V0 classification)
Low permeability
Sterilizable and autoclavable
Products
APT produces ETFE tubes from a minimum inner diameter of 0,3mm (0.010”) to a maximum outer diameter of 100 mm (4.000”) and PVDF rods to a maximum diameter of 4,00 mm (0.160”) ETFE is a “made to order” product and we generally do not keep stock of ETFE tubing.
Depending on customer’s request, ETFE tubes can be shipped in coils, on spools or supplied in straight length up to 6 m (18ft.).
Application areas
On basis of these excellent characteristics, ETFE tubes can be used for several applications in the industrial sector:
Chemical plant construction
Equipment engineering
Laboratory techniques and process engineering
Oil and Gas industry
Automotive, aerial and spatial engineering
Medical engineering
