ECTFE examples of properties

General chemical properties are subject to the compatibility of the fillers and reinforcements with the ambient conditions. If the fillers are well adapted, the chemical properties are the same for filled and neat polymers. 

Solvents Bromine, chlorinated solvents, amines, propylene oxide, THE can be more or less harmful, the more so as the temperature rises 

PVDF is handicapped by the price (justified by the performances), density, corrosive and toxic fumes in the event of fire, the small number of sources and grades. 

They can be classified according to the type of processing, specific properties and targeted applications  

The costs, as for all plastics, fluctuate highly with the crude oil price, and are only given to provide a general idea. They are generally of the order of a few tens of Euros per kilogram, roughly 25-40% more than PTFE.
