Types of Flouropolymer (FEP)

Similar properties are displayed by the Tetrafluoroethylene Hexafluoropropylene-copolymer FEP: [CF(CF3)-CF2(CF2-CF2)n]m

The molecular weight of this copolymer is 50,000 to 500,000 and the crystallinity is about 50%. The maximum service temperature of 205°C is lower than PTFE. FEP is thermoplastically moldable (injection molded at temperatures of 320°-360°C extruded at 350°C - 410°C) is translucent, flexible, and feels heavy because of its high density. FEP : FEP-Resin.
