F.E.P.
Fluorinated ethylene propylene (F.E.P.) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene. It differs from the P.T.F.E. (Polytetrafluoroethylene) resins in that it is melt-processible using conventional injection molding and screw Extrusion techniques. Fluorinated ethylene propylene was invented by DuPont and is sold under the brandname Teflon-F.E.P. Similar product is available from Daikin with the brand name of Neoflon-F.E.P.F.E.P. is very similar in composition to the Fluoropolymers P.T.F.E. (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and P.F.A. (Perfluoroalkoxy Polymer resin). F.E.P. and P.F.A. both share P.T.F.E.'s useful properties of low friction and non-reactivity, but are more easily formable. F.E.P. is softer than P.T.F.E. and melts at 260 °C; it is highly transparent and resistant to sunlight.
Altec have over 30 years experience in manufacturing Plastic & Rubber Extrusions, Extruded Profiles and Tubing. We're quite rightfully proud of our reputation for consistently meeting the needs of customers over that time. Because we've remained small and focussed we've also remained more attentitive, more cost effective and more responsive than larger manufacturers.
