Withstands high temperatures without degrading.
Low Friction
Provides a smooth, low-friction surface for various applications.
UV Resistance
Protects against UV radiation, maintaining material integrity
Non-Stick Surface
Ensures a non-stick surface, preventing material buildup.
Electrical Insulation
Acts as an effective insulator in electrical applications.
Durability and Longevity
Offers long-lasting durability even in extreme conditions.
Temperature Range
ETFE coatings can withstand a broad temperature range, making them suitable for extreme environments.

  • Service Temperature: 300°F to 300°F (-185°C to 150°C)
  • Melting Point: 270°C (518°F)
Coating Thickness
ETFE coatings are applied at varying thicknesses depending on the application requirements. Common thickness ranges include:

  • Standard Thickness: 0.25 mm – 1.5 mm
  • Application-Specific Thickness: up to 2 mm (available on request)

The thickness is determined based on exposure to harsh chemicals, mechanical wear, and operational temperatures.
