Tefzel ETFE 207
Fluoroplastic Resin
Description:
Tefzel ETFE 207 is a special-purpose fluoroplastic resin available in translucent, 2.5-mm (0.1-in) pellets. Compared with other grades of Tefzel , it has a higher flow rate and still maintains a service temperature of 150 °C (302 °F).
Tefzel ETFE 207 and the other Tefzel fluoroplastics are melt processible, modified copolymers of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. They are high-performance resins that can be processed at relatively high rates compared with fluorocarbon resins. They are mechanically tough and offer an excellent balance of properties.
Typical Applications:
Tefzel ETFE 207 is ideal for many end products, including electrical components, such as sleeving, coil forms, sockets, connectors, and switches; lab ware, such as tubing, valves, containers, and fasteners; battery or instrument components that require chemical inertness; and mechanical parts. The high melt flow rate of this product makes it ideal for injection molding and thin wall extrusion.
Processing
Tefzel ETFE 207 can be processed by conventional, melt-extrusion techniques and injection, compression, transfer, and blow molding processes. Compared with other grades of Tefzel, it can be processed with greater ease and speed because of its high flow rate. Also, the melt viscosity of Tefzel is reduced with increasing shear rate; thus, permitting the use of pressure extrusions through narrow dies without requiring appreciable drawdown. Reciprocating screw injection molding machines are preferred. Corrosion-resistant metals are recommended for contact with molten resin. Extruder barrels should be long, relative to diameter, to provide residence time for heating the resin to approximately 340 °C (640 °F).
Storage and Handling
The properties of Tefzel ETFE 207 resins are not affected by storage time. Ambient storage conditions should be designed to avoid airborne contamination and the formation of water condensation on the resin when it is removed from containers.
