Halar® ECTFE is a partially fluorinated semi-crystalline polymer offering a unique combination of mechanical properties, thermal and chemical resistance with an outstanding ease of processability.
Halar ECTFE, a copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene, can bring advantages to the end user when compared to other fluoropolymers. It is a very versatile polymer, available in all forms to meet processing needs. Halar offers excellent resistance to abrasion, harsh chemicals, and permeation. For those applications exceeding the capabilities of PVDF, Halar can be evaluated before resorting to a fully fluorinated polymer, offering a compromise between the mechanical properties of a partially fluorinated plastic like PVDF and the chemical and thermal resistance which is typical of totally fluorinated polymers.
These characteristics have made of Halar ECTFE a material of choice for several applications in the field of corrosion protection in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and microelectronic industries. The excellent processability, together with the electrical properties, has allowed Halar to become an ideal solution for wire & cable insulation.
Halar ECTFE is a high purity fluoropolymer with a very smooth surface, which accounts for its extensive use in the semiconductor industry. Halar meets the demands for fire-safe, non-fire propagating plastics.Halar plastic sheet is used to meet FM4910 and UL2360 standards for fabrication of fire safe clean room tools.
