ETFE is a fluorine-based copolymer produced from ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. As a copolymer, it combines the chemical resistance and non-stick properties characteristic of the fluoropolymer family with significantly better mechanical strength and toughness than pure PTFE. This makes ETFE suitable for structural and semi-structural applications where chemical resistance is required alongside mechanical load-bearing capacity, surface durability and long-term dimensional stability.
ETFE operates across a wide temperature range from -200°C down to cryogenic conditions through to +150°C at its upper service limit. While its maximum operating temperature is lower than PTFE.
The non-stick surface and low coefficient of friction of ETFE are consistent with other fluoropolymers, making it suitable for liners, coatings and containers where product adhesion and contamination must be prevented. Its radiation resistance further extends its applicability into pharmaceutical, nuclear and electronics environments.

High-Performance Engineering Plastics
Standard format 2000x1000 mm in thicknesses from 2 to 100 mm. Full range in standard stock. Thin sheets from 2mm suitable for liners, covers and precision flat components.
Solid bars from 10 to 180 mm diameter in 1000 mm lengths. Full range in standard stock in natural grade.
Custom cut to your exact dimensions from standard sheet or bar stock.
CNC-machined and fabricated parts to your technical drawings. Suitable for precision chemical equipment components, electrical insulators, liners and containers.
ETFE films and sheets are used as transparent or translucent architectural cladding, roof covering and facade elements in construction. Its light weight, high transparency and outstanding UV and weather resistance make it a practical material for large-span structural covering applications.
Used for liners, containers, tank covers and equipment components in chemical processing plants where resistance to aggressive chemicals combined with better mechanical strength than PTFE is required for structural parts in contact with corrosive media.
Applied as insulating tubing, cable jacketing and electrical component housings where good electrical insulation properties, chemical resistance and stable performance across a wide temperature range are required.
ETFE round bars and sheets are CNC-machined into precision parts including valve seats, pump components, bushings and insulating elements for chemical, pharmaceutical and electrical equipment.
Used for containers, tank liners and vessel covers in food processing, pharmaceutical and chemical storage where the non-stick surface, chemical resistance and low contamination risk of a fluoropolymer are required alongside structural robustness.
ETFE's radiation resistance makes it suitable for components in pharmaceutical sterilization, nuclear and electronics manufacturing environments where long-term exposure to radiation sources must not degrade material properties.
