FEP pipe (full name Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene copolymer pipe) is a high-performance plastic pipe material, primarily made from FEP resin.
FEP pipe (full name Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) is a high-performance plastic pipe primarily made of FEP resin. The following are its key characteristics and components:
1. Material composition
FEP resin: It is copolymerized from tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP). It is a modified material of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), retaining the excellent properties of PTFE while being easier to process.
- Additives: May contain a small amount of processing aids (such as antistatic agents or colorants), but the main component is pure FEP.
2. Core features
Chemical resistance: Resistant to strong acids, strong alkalis, and organic solvents (such as aqua regia, concentrated sulfuric acid, etc.).
- Temperature range: -200°C to +200°C, capable of withstanding higher temperatures for short periods.
Electrical insulation: low dielectric constant, suitable for high-frequency signal transmission.
Non-stick: The surface is smooth and not prone to adhering to substances.
Transparency: High transparency, facilitating observation of the fluid inside the tube.
3. Common applications**
Laboratory: Corrosive liquid delivery, chromatography analysis.
Semiconductor: ultrapure water, chemical delivery pipeline.
Medical: catheters, biocompatible devices.
Industry: high-purity fluid processing, insulating sleeves.
Processing method: FEP can be processed using melt extrusion molding
