Melt-Processable Fluoropolymer Copolymer
Peflon ETFE is a 1:1 alternating copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE, CAS 25038-71-5), melt-processable on standard extrusion and injection equipment — unlike PTFE, which cannot be melt-processed. It combines high tensile strength, radiation resistance and light weight with the chemical and weather resistance typical of fluoropolymers, plus strong adhesion to metal surfaces.
If you’re evaluating a second source for an existing ETFE grade, share your current part or datasheet target — we’ll shortlist an equivalent Peflon grade with COA/SDS for faster internal approval.
With Peflon, you source ETFE material in pellet, powder and coating-powder forms, supported by COA/SDS for faster internal approval. See independent ETFE material properties for baseline data.

Applications of Peflon ETFE
Widely used in oil & gas, medical, food, new energy, construction and water treatment — electrical sleeving, coil forms, sockets, connectors, switches, fuel hoses and more.
Where the layer has to bond directly to a PE, PP or TPE structural layer, or laminate at a lower temperature than ETFE can be processed at, THV is the fluoropolymer to compare against — ETFE keeps the mechanical strength, abrasion resistance and higher service temperature, THV keeps the bonding and the low melt window.
ETFE Valves
Valve bodies and linings for aggressive chemical and fluid service.
Tubing & Pipe
Chemically resistant tubing and pipe for fuel, hydraulic and process lines.
Wire & Cable
Thin-wall insulation and sleeving with strong dielectric and thermal performance.
Cable Straps
Durable cable straps and ties for high-temperature, chemical environments.
Films
High-transmission architectural foil, solar back-sheet and release film.
Injection-Molded Parts
Sockets, connectors, switches and precision molded components.
How Processors Convert Peflon ETFE Into Parts
Peflon ETFE pellet and powder grades support three primary conversion routes, each matched to a specific grade and property profile.
Extrusion
Processors extrude PF-601 and PF-660 pellets into wire & cable insulation, tubing and film at 320–370 °C nozzle temperatures on standard equipment — no PTFE-style ram extrusion required.
Injection Molding
Processors injection-mold PF-616L and PF370 pellets into connectors, valve components and precision parts; L/D ratio 22:1–25:1 recommended, resin dried at 120 °C for 2 hours before processing.
Powder Coating & Rotomolding
Processors apply PF-620H by electrostatic spray or fluidized-bed dipping for 100–1,000 μm coatings, and ETFE 406 by rotomolding for 2,000–8,000 μm linings — Peflon supplies the raw powder only and does not provide coating application services.
ETFE Chemical Compatibility
ETFE resists nearly all industrial acids, bases, oxidizers and organic solvents across its full service-temperature range — broadly matching PTFE and FEP while offering higher mechanical strength. The exceptions below are the cases worth flagging before you finalize a spec.
| Chemical / Class | Resistance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Strong mineral acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, hydrofluoric) | Excellent | Resistant across full concentration range at service temperature |
| Strong bases (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) | Excellent | No significant attack under normal service conditions |
| Common organic solvents (acetone, toluene, alcohols) | Excellent | Low permeation, minimal swelling |
| Chlorinated solvents | Excellent | No measurable tensile-strength reduction in typical service |
| Hot concentrated amines | Limited | Known exception — can attack ETFE at elevated temperature |
| Molten alkali metals | Not recommended | Known exception at any temperature |
| Elemental fluorine / strong oxidizing gases at high temperature | Not recommended above ~300 °C | Known exception at elevated temperature |
For uncommon media not listed here, share the chemical, concentration and service temperature with Peflon’s technical team for a grade-specific recommendation.

ETFE Resin — Frequently Asked Questions
How is ETFE different from PTFE and FEP?
ETFE is a melt-processable ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer that is tougher, lighter and more abrasion- and radiation-resistant than PTFE, with higher tensile strength. Unlike PTFE it runs on standard extrusion and injection equipment, and it offers higher mechanical strength than FEP while keeping excellent chemical and weather resistance.
What forms does Peflon ETFE come in?
Pellet, powder and coating-powder grades — six standard grades from PF-601 to ETFE 406, customizable to virtually any color. Pellets suit extrusion and injection molding; powder grades suit electrostatic spray, fluidized-bed dipping and rotomolding.
What is the service temperature range of ETFE?
Peflon ETFE performs continuously from about −200 °C up to 150–180 °C depending on grade (PF370 rated highest at 180 °C), keeping mechanical strength, flexibility and dielectric performance across that range.
How is ETFE processed?
ETFE is melt-processable by extrusion (wire, tube, film), injection molding (connectors, valves) and powder coating or rotomolding. Typical injection barrel temperatures run 280–370 °C — much easier to process than PTFE, which is not melt-processable.
Is ETFE suitable for outdoor and architectural use?
Yes. ETFE offers about 20-year weathering capability, high light transmission and a self-cleaning surface, which is why ETFE foil is used for stadium roofs, façades and greenhouses as well as solar back-sheets.
Is Peflon ETFE PFOA-free and compliant?
Yes — Peflon ETFE is produced without PFOA, and PF370 carries SGS, RoHS, REACH and SVHC certification; equivalent documentation and per-batch COA are available on request for the full grade range.
Does Peflon apply ETFE coatings for me?
No. Peflon supplies ETFE coating powder and pellets as raw material only — we do not offer spraying, dipping or rotomolding application services. Our team can recommend the right grade for your applicator to process.
