Fluorocarbons - The family of plastics including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE); polyvinylidene and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). They are characterized by properties including good thermal and chemical resistance and nonadhesiveness, and possess a low dielectric constant. Depending upon which of the fluorocarbons are used, they are available as molding materials, extrusion materials, dispersions, film or tape.
