Norton® ECTFE fluoropolymer film is manufactured from ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene resin by Saint-Gobain High Performance Films. This material offers the outstanding performance of fluoropolymer film over a temperature range from cryogenic -200°C (-328°F) to 165°C (330°F).
Norton ECTFE film provides the highest abrasion resistance of any fluoropolymer film available. This film has superior chemical resistance and very high tensile strength and flexural modulus.
Norton ECTFE film offers low surface energy, making it an excellent choice for release applications. The low specific gravity of ECTFE provides more square feet than FEP for composite fabrication.
The combination of heat stability, electrical characteristics, and barrier properties provides insulator performance especially suited for the electrical and electronics industry. Norton ECTFE film offers the highest dielectric strength of all fluoropolymer films.
Norton ECTFE film has outstanding resistance to weathering and high energy radiation. This material is suitable for electrical tapes, cable insulation, printed circuits, capacitors, chlorine cells, flat cable constructions, and solar collectors.
Norton ECTFE film offers a UL V-0 rating for flammability. This provides performance suitable for aircraft cabin interiors and fuel cell membranes.
