These natural properties make the use of fluoropolymers in industries such as wire and cable, architectural films, transportation, industrial and even medical an excellent choice for many applications.   Today, fluoropolymers serve a broad range of applications with their unique material properties, including chemical inertness, low friction, weatherability, natural flame retardance, temperature resistance, and barrier properties. For example, fluoropolymers are used as coatings for wire and cable found in buildings and aircraft thanks to their natural flame retardance.

Excellent colorability, which can be achieved with pre-colored raw materials or by coloring natural grades during processing Flexibility in processing: The OnFlex S HF material can be supplied in either natural or pre-colored grades. Natural grades can be colored during processing with compatible products from Avient’s OnColor™ color concentrate line.
