EverflonTM FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) is a melt processable fluoroplastic. Everflon® FEP can be used in applications that don’t require the enhanced properties, and temperature rating of EverflonTM PFA.
EverflonTM FEP fluoroplastics are processed by conventional melt extrusion techniques and by injection, compression, transfer and blow molding processes. EverflonTM FEP fluoroplastics are ideal for wire coating and molding a wide variety of end use articles and components.
EverflonTM FEP offers an excellent combination of properties characteristic of all fluoroplastics; a wide service temperature range, exceptional dielectric and electrical properties, low coefficient of friction, low flammability and chemical resistance. EverflonTM FEP has a service temperature range, up to 200°C (392°F).
While EverflonTM FEP can be fabricated into solid shapes and molded articles it is best known as an industry leading product line in the wire and cable industry where it is used for wire coating and cable jacket fabrication. EverflonTM FEP offers wire and cable OEMs a high performance fluoroplastic material with excellent electrical properties, ease of processing and consistent performance.
The EverflonTM FEP product line is one the broadest in the industry. With Melt Flow Rates (MFR) from 3 to 30, and a wide range of application specific grades, EverflonTM FEP is uniquely positioned to offer exceptional performance in both general purpose and high speed wire and cable constructions.
