05 June 2006 - Quadrant EPP
| High-performance ethylene-chlorotrifluoro-ethylene sheet is now available from Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products. Compared to other fluoropolymer materials, Symalit ECTFE sheet offers a unique balance of high purity, mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance. The new material can be machined easily, thermoformed, and is melt-weldable. It is manufactured from the well-known Halar resin formulation. |
High-performance ethylene-chlorotrifluoro-ethylene sheet is now available from Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products. Compared to other fluoropolymer materials, Symalit ECTFE sheet offers a unique balance of high purity, mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance. The new material can be machined easily, thermoformed, and is melt-weldable. It is manufactured from the well-known Halar resin formulation. Symalit ECTFE sheet is: More abrasion resistant than any other fluoropolymer sheet;
Extremely resistant to strong bases, organic solvents and acids;
An excellent dielectric material, with high dielectric strength;
Thermally stable to 300 ° F; and
A non-fire propagating material, which meets Factory Mutual (FM) 4910 Fire Safe Protocol requirements for the construction of semiconductor equipment.
Potential applications for Symalit ECTFE sheet include: high-purity fluid handling equipment, chemical storage equipment, and fire-safe semiconductor processing equipment. Quadrant EPP offers Symalit ECTFE sheet in stock thicknesses from 0.125 to 1.0 inch, and widths up to 48 inch. Symalit ECTFE sheet is the latest addition to Quadrant EPP's family of fire-resistant fluoropolymer sheet materials, which includes Symalit PVDF. Symalit PVDF, manufactured from Kynar resin also meets FM 4910 and offers a better surface and more consistent color than competing materials.
