AKU®-FLON FEP SHEETS untempered

FEP (fluoroethylene propylene) sheets are high-quality plastic sheets made from the polymer fluoroethylene propylene.

They are characterized by their exceptional heat resistance, chemical resistance and non-stick properties.

FEP sheets are particularly suitable for applications that require extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals, such as in the chemical industry, food processing and electrical engineering.

Thanks to their outstanding properties, FEP sheets offer a reliable and durable solution for demanding applications in various industries.

Compared to pure PTFE FEP (perfluoroethylene propylene copolymer)

  • a lower melt viscosity,
  • higher impact strength,
  • Lower strength and rigidity
  • lower continuous operating temperature,
  • but comparable chemical and weather resistance,
  • Flammability and comparable electrical properties.

FEP is weldable.

We also supply the matching welding rod.

Perfluoroethylene propylene copolymer

FEP is a fluorinated thermoplastic produced by the copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP).
FEP belongs to the fluoropolymer family and has some unique properties.

Properties of FEP:

  • Temperature Resistance:
    FEP is characterized by high temperature resistance and can withstand temperatures of approximately 200°C without its structural properties changing.

  • Chemical Resistance:
    FEP is extremely chemical-resistant and inert to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents. This property makes it ideal for applications in the chemical industry.

  • Electrical Insulation:
    FEP exhibits excellent dielectric properties and is frequently used in the electrical industry for the production of cable sheathing, insulators, and other electrical components.

  • Low Friction:
    FEP has low friction, which results in good sliding properties. This makes it useful in applications with low frictional resistance.

  • Biocompatibility:
    FEP is biocompatible and is used in medical applications, such as for flexible tubing and catheters.

Applications of FEP:

FEP is used in a wide range of applications, including

  • Chemical Industry:
    Piping, valves, pumps, and containers due to its chemical resistance.

  • Electronics:
    Cable sheathing, insulators, connectors, and other electronic components.

  • Medical Technology:
    Flexible tubing, catheters, and other biocompatible applications.

  • Food Industry:
    Coatings for cookware, conveyor belts, and other applications where non-stick properties are required.

FEP is widely used in various industries due to its unique combination of properties, especially when high temperature resistance, chemical resistance and electrical insulation are required.
