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 around 200°C without changing its structural properties.

  • Chemical resistance:
    FEP is highly resistant to chemicals 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 has excellent dielectric properties and is often used in the electrical industry for the manufacture 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 flexible tubing and catheters.

Applications of FEP:

FEP is used in a wide range of applications, including

  • chemical industry:
    pipelines, valves, pumps and containers due to its chemical resistance.

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

  • Medical technology:
    Flexible tubes, 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.
