ETFE Coatings
ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) is a high-performance fluoropolymer coating that combines outstanding chemical resistance with excellent abrasion and impact resistance. It is ideal for components operating in harsh industrial environments where durability and long service life are essential.
What Is ETFE?
Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) is a fluoropolymer that offers many of the chemical resistance benefits of PTFE while providing greater toughness and mechanical strength. ETFE coatings are widely used to protect equipment exposed to corrosive chemicals, abrasive materials and demanding operating conditions.
Its excellent resistance to wear, impact and weathering makes ETFE an excellent choice for extending the life of industrial equipment.
