AKU®-FLON ETFE CIRCULAR BARS or FULL BARS

ETFE resin combines a superior mechanical strength with a excellent chemical inertness, approaching that of fluoroplastic resins.
In addition, ETFE is resistant to ultraviolet light.
It is easy to process and is characterized by a specific gravity of 1.7 and a resistance to high-energy radiation.
ETFE parts are known for their Self-cleaning non-stick surface
ETFE can heat-sealed, thermoformed, vacuum-formed, hot-bonded, welded, metallized and laminated . 
Due to its exceptional durability, and Antifouling properties It is used in outdoor architectural applications, greenhouses and solar cells.

•Very high melting temperature
•Superior mechanical strength
•Radiation resistant
•Resistant to many aggressive chemicals (acids / organic solvents)
•Resistant to ultraviolet light
•Good wear resistance
•Self-cleaning

ETFE for short, is a high-quality fluoropolymer plastic known for its exceptional properties in terms of chemical resistance, transparency, lightness and thermal stability.

Properties of ETFE:

  • Chemical resistance:
    ETFE exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents and aggressive industrial chemicals. This makes it suitable for use in demanding chemical environments.

  • Thermal stability:
    ETFE retains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, from approximately -200°C to +150°C. This thermal stability enables use in environments with extreme temperatures.

  • Weather resistance:
    ETFE is UV resistant and exhibits good weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor applications without degradation of material quality.

Applications of ETFE:

ETFE is used in various industries, including:

  • Chemical industry: Tanks, pipelines and fittings due to its chemical resistance.

  • Electronics industry: insulators, cable sheathing and other electrical components due to its electrical insulation properties.

  • Aerospace: Insulation materials, windows and components in applications with extreme temperatures.

ETFE is an innovative material that is used in various technical and architectural applications due to its special properties.
