CTFE (KEL-F®)

CTFE is the homopolymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene (KEL-F®). This fluoropolymer possesses a number of properties not usually found in other fluoropolymer resins. Examples of these properties are optical transparency, high hardness, high compressive strength, and an exceptional resistance to cold flow. Because it is a highly fluorinated resin, CTFE is non-flammable and relatively unaffected by most corrosive chemicals. CTFE maintains its excellent electrical insulating capability through thermal cycling and high humidity.
