Differences between PTFE and FEP dispersion
Although both PTFE dispersion and FEP dispersion are fluoropolymer emulsions, there are significant differences in chemical structure, processing properties and applications.
FEP dispersion
Ideal for applications requiring thermoplastic processing, especially where chemical and high temperature resistance are required, but good processability and flexibility are needed, such as cable insulation, films, industrial and medical device coatings.
PTFE dispersion
It is more suitable for applications that require high temperature and chemical resistance and do not require melt processing, such as coatings, anti-corrosion equipment and seals.
