Perfluorinated thermoplastics 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 Excellent resistance, attacked only by alkaline metals and their organic derivatives elemental fluorine 

ETFE is handicapped by sensitivity to creep and abrasion, the price (justified by the performance), density, corrosive and toxic fumes in the event of fire, the limited 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 greatly with the crude oil price, and are only given to provide an idea. They are generally of the order of a few tens of Euros per kilogram, roughly twice as much as PTFE.
