NEOFLON EFEP Properties & Applications
NEOFLON EFEP is a polymer unique to DAIKIN Industries. It is a terpolymer of ethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, and hexafluoropropylene. It was designed to have many of the mechanical properties of ETFE, but with a lower processing temperature, allowing it to be coextruded with conventional thermoplastic polymers like polyamide, EVOH, and modified polyethylene. Due to its bonding ability it adheres to these plastics without the use of adhesives or tie layers. It is used in monowall and multilayer tubing, low permeation automotive fuel hose, blow molded bottles and containers.
