Halar ® ECTFE
(Ethylene-ChloroTriFluoroEthylene) Specifications
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Halar ® is a high molecular weight
crystalline thermoplastic polymer -- Ethylene-ChloroTriFluoro-Ethylene or
ECTFE.
GENERAL PROPERTIES
Halar ® has excellent corrosion and
chemical resistance and performs in many applications up to 300°F (149°C).
Made from the toughest of all fluoropolymers, this material has nylon-like
durability with excellent mechanical properties and impact strength. In
addition, it has extremely low permeability to liquids, gases, and vapors.
Halar
® ECTFE is resistant to most chemicals (including acids,
alkalines, and organic solvents) except hot amines and ketones.
