Description
Tefzel ™ ETFE HT-2184 is a premium fluoropolymer resin in powder form. It provides the superior properties typical of fluoropolymer resins, such as excellent retention of properties after service, chemical inertness, and mechanical toughness.

Tefzel ™ ETFE HT-2184 and the other Tefzel ™ fluoropolymers are melt processible, modified copolymers of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. They are high-performance resins that can be processed at relatively high rates, compared with other fluorocarbon resins. They are mechanically tough and offer an excellent balance of properties.

Tefzel ™ ETFE HT-2184 is preferred for applications where materials must be dispersed in an ETFE matrix. Materials can be well dispersed in the powder and then either compression molded or melt mixed for additional processing.

Properly processed products made from neat Tefzel ™ ETFE HT-2184 are inert to most solvents and chemicals, hydrolytically stable, and weather-resistant. The recommended upper service temperature is 155 °C (311 °F); useful properties are retained at cryogenic ranges. The level and stability of dielectric properties are excellent, and the flame rating is V-0 by the UL94 method. They are resistant to environmental stress cracking and have outstanding impact strength, cut-through, and abrasion resistance. Statements, or data, regarding behavior in a flame situation are not intended to reflect hazards presented by this or any other material when under actual fire conditions.

Typical End Products
Tefzel ™ ETFE HT-2184 is ideal for many end products, including chemical service items, such as lined valves and fittings, pump housings and impellers, column packings, and other abrasion-resistant linings; high temperature electrical components and insulation; fasteners, corrugated tubing, and duct work; and film.
