Halar

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Halar® is a high molecular weight crystalline thermoplastic polymer -- Ethylene-ChloroTriFluoro-Ethylene or ECTFE.

GENERAL PROPERTIES

Halar® has excellent corrosion and chemical resistance and performs in many applications up to 149°C. Made from the toughest of all fluoropolymers, this material has nylon-like durability with excellent mechanical properties and impact strength. In addition, it has extremely low permeability to liquids, gases, and vapors. Halar® ECTFE is resistant to most chemicals (including acids, alkalines, and organic solvents) except hot amines and ketones.

OTHER KEY PROPERTIES

• High purity • Good thermal stability • Good tensile strength • Excellent impact resistance • Machinable, weldable, and thermoformable

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Solid and Lined Pipe • Fittings • Pump & Valve Components • Filter Housings • Components for Wet Process Stations • Tanks & Tank Linings

ECTFE is supplied in different forms by special order. Please ring Elder on 01707 325513 for further assistance.
