AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ LM-ETFE AH-3000L is a semiconductive modified copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene used in applications where superior stress-cracking properties and strong adhesion to polyamide polymers, especially nylon 12, are required. It also exhibits high permeation resistance to many fluids and gasses, especially automotive fuels. It is processed using conventional melt extrusion methods and is available as a 1/8” pellet.

- Storage
The properties of Fluon LM-ETFE are not impacted by storage time. Storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize contact with airborne contamination and the formulation of condensation on the resin. Fluoropolymers are not hydroscopic and will not typically need to be dried prior to use. However, masterbatches used to pigment fluoropolymers may contain materials that do absorb water and should be dried prior to use.
