Product Brief
High-Purity FEP Particle for Extrusion: Excellent Melt Flow, Chemical Resistance & Insulation. Ideal for Wire Insulation, FEP Tubes/Films-Optimized for Continuous Extrusion Efficiency.
Product Overview
High-Purity FEP Particle Optimized for Extrusion Processing (Model HD925) refers to translucent fluoropolymer pellets (also called F46), synthesized by copolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene with 15% hexafluoropropylene. As a modified derivative of PTFE (the "King of Plastics"), this FEP particle retains PTFE's core properties (chemical stability, insulation) while adding melt-processability-making it tailored for continuous extrusion manufacturing of wire insulation, tubes, and films. Its controlled melt flow rate (6~8 g/10min) ensures smooth, consistent processing, positioning it as a high-quality material for precision extrusion applications.
Product Details
What is High-Purity FEP Particle for Extrusion Processing?
High-Purity FEP Particle (HD925) is a specialized fluoropolymer pellet engineered for seamless extrusion processing. Unlike PTFE (which requires specialized molding due to its non-melt processability), FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene, or F46) is a copolymer that balances PTFE's inertness with thermoplastic flow: its molecular structure (a blend of tetrafluoroethylene's stability and hexafluoropropylene's flexibility) allows it to melt uniformly at ~270°C, enabling continuous extrusion into thin layers or complex shapes.
The HD925 grade is optimized for extrusion specifically: its melt flow rate (6~8 g/10min) is calibrated to avoid both excessive flow (which causes uneven thickness) and insufficient flow (which clogs extruders). Compared to other fluoropolymers like FEP with higher melt flow (which sacrifices mechanical strength), HD925 maintains a tensile strength of >24 MPa-critical for end-products like wire insulation that require durability.
Key Properties of HD925 FEP Particle (Extrusion-Optimized)
Each property of HD925 is designed to solve extrusion challenges and enhance end-product performance:
● Optimized Melt Processability: With a melt flow rate of 6~8 g/10min, it melts uniformly in extruders, enabling continuous, high-speed production of wire insulation, FEP tubes, and films. This is possible because the 15% hexafluoropropylene content breaks up PTFE's rigid molecular chains, creating a flowable yet stable melt-unlike PTFE, which decomposes before melting.
● Superior Chemical Inertness: The C-F bonds in its molecular structure make it inert to most industrial chemicals, acids, and solvents. Unlike PVDF (which degrades in strong bases), HD925 remains stable in corrosive environments-ensuring extrusion-formed components (e.g., chemical-resistant tubes) have long service lives.
● Excellent Electrical Insulation: It has a dielectric constant ≤2.15 (10⁶Hz) and dissipation factor ≤7.0×10⁻⁴, making it ideal for wire insulation in high-frequency applications. This is due to the non-polar nature of its fluorinated chains, which minimize electrical interference-outperforming many non-fluoropolymer insulation materials.
● Flame Retardancy & Thermal Stability: It is inherently non-ignitable (self-extinguishing) and retains properties from -200°C to 200°C. The C-F bonds' high energy (485 kJ/mol) resists thermal degradation, so extrusion-formed films or wires maintain integrity in high-heat environments (e.g., industrial machinery wiring).
● Mechanical Durability: With a tensile strength >24 MPa and elongation at break >300%, it resists tearing during extrusion and use. This is enabled by its copolymer structure, which adds flexibility to PTFE's rigidity-critical for thin wire insulation that must withstand bending.
● High Purity & Translucency: Its translucent appearance and volatile content ≤0.1% ensure no contamination in extrusion-formed medical tubes or food-contact films. This purity is achieved via a post-polymerization purification process, meeting standards for bio-compatible applications.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why is HD925 better for extrusion than other FEP particles?
HD925 has a calibrated melt flow rate (6~8 g/10min) that balances flow and strength: it melts smoothly to avoid clogs, but doesn't flow excessively (which causes uneven thickness). Most standard FEP particles have either higher flow (sacrificing strength) or lower flow (slowing processing).
Can HD925 be used for food-contact or medical extrusion products?
Yes-its volatile content ≤0.1% and high purity meet FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 (food contact) and USP Class VI (medical) standards, making it safe for extrusion-formed food packaging or medical tubes.
What extrusion temperature is recommended for HD925?
We recommend 350~400°C (do not exceed 420°C, as this releases toxic gas). The melt temperature should be maintained at ~270°C for optimal flow.
What is the shelf life of HD925 FEP particles?
When stored in a dry, cool (≤30°C) warehouse (in sealed 25KG drums), HD925 has a 2-year shelf life-its purity and melt flow remain consistent during storage.
Can you customize HD925's melt flow rate for my extrusion machine?
Yes-we offer tailored melt flow rates (4~10 g/10min) to match your extruder's capacity and end-product requirements. Contact our technical team to discuss custom formulations.
