Fluon® ETFE C88AXMP-HT
- Chemical Family
- FluoropolymersPolyolefins
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon® ETFE C88AXMP-HT is a high-performance melt-processable copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene that is designed for use in automotive applications. It offers improved thermal stability and performs better at higher temperatures than standard ETFE, with a maximum operating temperature of 200ºC. Its enhanced stress crack resistance, abrasion resistance, and mechanical strength make it suitable for ultra-thin layer insulation in vehicles and aircraft where reducing carbon footprint and increasing fuel efficiency is important.

- Storage and Handling
Fluon® ETFE C88AXMP-HT should be stored in clean, dry conditions. No special treatment is required. Any partially used sacks should be resealed to prevent ingress of contamination. The resin will not absorb water. If the resin is brought into a warm work place, from a colder store, it should not be opened until it has reached the temperature of the work place – this will prevent potential condensation forming on the pellets.
