Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant.
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.

Grades are available in black and natural with
30%–50% long glass fiber, with or without a
flame retardant, allowing customers to customize
performance requirements for structural
applications.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Chemical resistance
• Maintaining high impact performance at low
temperatures
• Low moisture uptake
• Dimensional stability comparable to nylon
• Higher impact resistance than short fiber
alternatives
• Eco-conscious alternative to nylons
• More cost-effective solution than specialty
nylons
• Available in non-PFAS* formulations to achieve
UL 94 V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are for use in applications
traditionally made of metal requiring moisture,
chemical and cold impact performance
requirements, including:
• Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management
• Electrical & Electronics – connectors,
battery components, battery housings
• Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/
chemical contact components, non-structural
interior components
• Oil & Gas – fuel pump components, fuel doors
PRODUCT BULLETIN
* Non-PFAS flame-retardant (FR) grades are manufactured without
intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials.
