Product Brief
High-Grade ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin: Melt-processable with excellent chemical/radiation resistance, high mechanical toughness & thermal stability. Ideal for high-temperature wire insulation & precision molding.
Product Overview
ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin is a high-performance melt-processable fluoropolymer, a 1:1 copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene. Engineered to combine the chemical inertness of fluoropolymers with enhanced processability and mechanical strength, it is widely used in high-demanding applications requiring extreme temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and reliable electrical insulation. Our ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin HD932 grade, a transparent pellet with high melt flow rate, is specifically tailored for efficient processing via conventional thermoplastic techniques.
Product Details
ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin has a long-standing reputation in the industrial material sector since its emergence in the 1940s. Years of research and development have refined this fluoropolymer into a premium insulation and structural material, capable of meeting rigorous performance requirements in harsh environments. Unlike PTFE, which is challenging to process, ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin offers excellent melt processability, enabling high-speed production while maintaining superior material properties-an advantage that makes it a preferred choice over other fluoropolymers like FEP and PVDF in applications requiring both performance and manufacturing efficiency.
Our ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin HD932 grade boasts well-defined and consistent performance parameters, which are critical for ensuring reliability in end products. The detailed technical specifications are summarized in the table below:

The outstanding features of ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin stem from its unique molecular structure, which endows it with a combination of properties unmatched by many other polymers. Its wide service temperature range allows it to perform reliably from extreme low temperatures to 180 ℃ continuous service, making it suitable for both arctic and high-temperature industrial environments. The excellent chemical resistance ensures it can withstand exposure to most strong acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and corrosive gases-this is validated by immersion tests where the material showed no significant weight loss or property degradation after 1000 hours in 98% sulfuric acid and 50% sodium hydroxide solutions. Additionally, its superior radiation resistance (up to 1000 kGy gamma radiation) makes it ideal for nuclear industry and aerospace applications, where material degradation from radiation is a critical concern.
Another key advantage of ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin is its high mechanical toughness and dimensional stability. With a tensile strength of ≥32 Mpa and elongation at break of ≥330%, it can withstand mechanical impacts and vibrations without cracking or deformation, ensuring long service life in dynamic industrial settings. Its low flammability (compliant with DIN4102 B1 fire rating) and self-extinguishing properties enhance safety in applications such as architectural fireproof wires and cables. Compared to PVDF, which has similar chemical resistance but lower elongation, ETFE offers better flexibility, making it more suitable for thin-wall extrusion and flexible component manufacturing.
In terms of processability, ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin HD932 excels with its high melt flow rate (≥25 g/10min), enabling efficient processing via conventional thermoplastic methods including injection molding, extrusion, compression molding, transfer molding, blow molding, and rotational molding. This high melt flow rate is particularly beneficial for thin-wall extrusion applications, such as high-temperature and high-frequency wire cable insulation, where precise control and uniform wall thickness are essential. We recommend using corrosion-resistant alloys (e.g., Hastelloy or Inconel) for processing equipment components that come into contact with molten resin, ensuring long-term equipment durability and product purity.
The practical applications of ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin are diverse and span multiple high-demand industries. In the electronic communication sector, it is widely used for high-temperature, high-frequency transmission line insulation, fireproof wires and cables, and heat-shrinkable tubing-our clients in the telecom industry have reported a 40% increase in cable service life after switching to our ETFE insulation materials. In the oil and gas sector, it is used for oil deposit detection cables, where its corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability ensure reliable performance in downhole environments. It also finds applications in the aerospace, nuclear, and chemical processing industries, where its combination of properties meets the most stringent material requirements. Our ISO 9001-certified manufacturing process ensures consistent product quality, and we have supplied ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin to over 60 countries, with successful case studies in both industrial and high-tech sectors.
For package and storage, our ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin is packed in paper drums with inner PE bags, each with a net weight of 25kg. It is not classified as hazardous for transportation, simplifying logistics and reducing shipping costs. We recommend storing the product in a dry, clean, and ventilated warehouse, avoiding strenuous vibration, sunlight exposure, rain, and impurity mixing-proper storage ensures the material retains its performance properties for up to 2 years.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What is the difference between ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin and PFA Resin?
A1: Both are high-performance fluoropolymers, but ETFE offers higher mechanical toughness and radiation resistance, while PFA has a higher continuous service temperature (260 ℃ vs. ETFE's 180 ℃). ETFE also has better processability for thin-wall extrusion, making it more suitable for wire insulation, while PFA is preferred for high-temperature fluid handling components.
Q2: Can ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin be recycled?
A2: Yes, ETFE is a recyclable fluoropolymer. Post-production scraps and end-of-life products can be ground and reprocessed into pellets, with minimal loss of key properties. This not only reduces environmental impact but also helps lower production costs for our clients.
Q3: What is the advantage of ETFE Resin HD932's high melt flow rate?
A3: The high melt flow rate (≥25 g/10min) of HD932 enables faster processing speeds and better melt fluidity, which is critical for thin-wall extrusion applications (e.g., fine wire insulation). It also improves mold filling during injection molding, ensuring precise dimensional control of complex components.
Q4: Does ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin meet any international standards?
A4: Yes, our ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin complies with multiple international standards, including ISO 9001 (quality management), DIN4102 B1 (fire rating), and RoHS (environmental protection). Each batch comes with a detailed test report, verifying its performance parameters and quality consistency.
Q5: How long is the delivery time for ETFE Fluoroplastic Resin?
A5: For standard ETFE Resin HD932, the delivery time is 7-10 working days after order confirmation. For custom-formulated grades, the delivery time is 15-20 working days. We work with global logistics partners to ensure timely delivery, with full shipping tracking provided.
