ECTFE, otherwise known as Halar®, one of its trade names, is a copolymer of ethylene and mono-trifluoroethylene.
This thermoplastic combines the following properties:
- Exceptionally resistant to chemical exposure
- Excellent electrical properties (low dielectric value that doesn’t vary by temperature or frequency, excellent dielectric strength)
- Resistance to high and low temperatures (-70°C to +150°C)
- Mechanical properties comparable to Nylon 6, excellent impact and abrasion resistance, robust coating
- Hardness approx. D75
- Flame resistance
- Radiation resistance
Fields of application (not exhaustive):
- Electrical and electronic industries
- Chemical Industry
- Galvanoplasty
- Cleaning process in watchmaking industry
- Cryogenic and aerospace applications
Application examples:
- washing racks
- spiral suspension racks
- heat exchangers
