Materials Summary
 

Below is a brief overview of each resin type. Resins are produced in several varieties and property characteristics my vary. Therefore, determination of resin is dependent on the application and the Material Summary is only meant to serve as a general guideline.

For information regarding the electrical, mechanical and thermal properties ofeach resin, please refer to the Material Comparison Sheet or the actual properties link. 

FEP PTFE PFA
  
      
(view actual properties)

FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene)

Color: Clear 
  · Excellent chemical resistance
· Nonwetting
· Weldable
· Tubes can be sealed by melting
· Long continuous lengths
· Low refractive index
· Improved clarity over PFA
