Material FEP

About Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP)

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is a high-performance thermoplastic fluoropolymer derived from hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene. Known for its chemical resistance, electrical insulation properties, and flexibility, FEP is a versatile material widely used across various industries. Unlike PTFE, FEP can be melt-processed, allowing for greater design flexibility in manufacturing. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for harsh environments and demanding applications.
