- Benefits
Cross-linking ETFE increases mechanical properties such as scrape abrasion, cut-through resistance, and tensile strength, especially at elevated temperatures. Flammability of the cross-linked polymer is also improved.
- Processing
This ready-to-use product can be processed using conventional thermoplastic techniques such as compression and injection molding and melt extrusion under standard ETFE operating conditions.. The processed article can be cross-linked using electron-beam radiation or gamma radiation. It is strongly recommended that process equipment exposed to molten resin be made of corrosion-resistant metals such as Monel, Inconel, or Hastelloy.

- Handling Precautions
Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.. Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
- Safe Use and Handling
A summary of the hazards, as defined by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 for this product are: Physical hazards: None Health hazards: None. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS READ AGC CHEMICALS AMERICAS, INC. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET.
