ECTFE film offers low surface energy, making it an
excellent choice for release applications. The low specific gravity of
ECTFE provides more square feet than FEP for composite fabrication.
The combination of heat stability, electrical
characteristics and barrier properties provides insulator performance
especially suited for the electrical and electronics industry. ECTFE
film offers the highest dielectric strength of all fluoropolymer
films.
ECTFE film has outstanding resistance to weathering and
high energy radiation. This material is suitable for electrical tapes,
cable insulation, printed circuits capacitors, chlorine cells, flat
cable constructions and solar collectors.
ECTFE offers a UL V-0 rating for flammability. This
provides performance suited for aircraft cabin interiors and fuel cell
membranes. (see below)
