Product Description
EFEP RP-4020 and RP-4040 are fluoropolymers combining the excellent physical and chemical properties derived from ETFE together with the very low melting temperature characteristic of a conventional thermoplastic. These resins have a high transparency and adhere well to many kinds of plastics and inorganic materials (glass, metals) without adhesive or etching.

EFEP RP-4020 and RP-4040 offer the following advantages for a wide range of applications found in the chemical processing, semiconductor and film industries:
  • Very low processing temperature and excellent thermal stability
  • High transparency
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • High purity
  • Excellent weathering
  • Improved heat sealing properties
  • Low mold shrinkage (injection molding)
  • Co-extrusion with other resins (nylons, EVOH, modified PE, and ETFE) without adhesive or etching
