Material Properties

ECTFE (sold as Halar®) is a partially fluorinated polymer that offers an excellent balance of chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and processability. It provides better impact resistance and abrasion resistance than most other fluoropolymers.

ECTFE maintains its properties across a wide temperature range and offers excellent resistance to permeation, making it ideal for tank linings, piping, and protective coatings in corrosive environments.

Broad chemical resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
Excellent impact and abrasion resistance
Low permeability to gases and liquids
Wide operating temperature range (-75°C to +150°C)
FDA compliant for food contact
