FEP (Fluorinated ethylene propylene) is a fully fluorinated co-polymer of HFP (Hexafluoropropylene) and TFE (Tetrafluoroethylene) with a glaze point of 260 °C (+500 °F).
FEP upper temperature of continuous use is + 205 °C (+ 401 °F), and its chemical stability remains the same compared to the PFA.
Properties
temperature of continuous use ranges from – 200 °C (- 328 °F) to + 205 °C (+ 401 °F)
Universal chemical stability
Highly transparency
Very low surface energy and friction coefficient
Very smooth and easy to clean anti-adhesive surfaces
Very good insulation properties (electrical)
Weldable
Inflammable (UL 94: V0 classification)
Low permeability

Compliant with FDA and USP class VI
Products
Our product range on FEP tubing covers diameters between 0,10 mm and 110 mm with almost any wallthickness. Customized production runs in metric and inch sizes can be realized with short lead times and even for smaller quantities.
With regard to standard dimensions we carry a large stock of the common sizes mostly in natural colour and in standard length of 50 or 100 m coils. Coloured FEP tubes are made to order according to the RAL colour code.
On request we use continuous x-ray measurement to ensure the quality of our products at any point or fully automated visual inspection.
Multi-layer constructions, welding rods and profiles can be manufactured on request.
Application areas
On basis of those excellent characteristics, FEP-tubes are being used for several applications in industry such as:
Oil and Gas
Equipment engineering
Laboratory techniques and process engineering
Food and beverage industry
Printing technology
Automated Painting technology
Automotive, aerial and spatial techniques
Medical engineering
Domestic appliance
Electrical engineering
