Product Description
EFEP RP-5000AS is a static dissipating fluoropolymer specifically designed for the automotive industry. This resin combines the excellent physical and chemical properties derived from ETFE together with a low processing temperature that is more compatible with engineering resins and conventional thermoplastic polymers. EFEP RP-5000AS adheres well to many kinds of plastics without adhesive or etching.

EFEP RP-5000AS can be easily co-extruded into multi-layer tubing and offers the following advantages for automotive applications:
  • Very good permeation resistance to hydrocarbons
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Improved heat aging resistance
  • Co-extrusion with other resins (nylons, EVOH, modified PE, and ETFE) without adhesive or etching
  • Superior adhesion strength
  • Cold impact resistance
