ECTFE Solvay 500LC

Solvay Specialty Polymers Ajedium™ Film Halar® 500LC Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene Copolymer (ECTFE) Material Notes: Halar® ECTFE is a semi-crystalline fluoropolymer with a chemical structure of a 1:1 alternating copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene. Halar® film is a strong, hard, tough, abrasion resistant film that retains its useful properties over a broad range of temperatures. Its low temperature properties, especially those related to impact, are particularly outstanding. Halar® films have demonstrated excellent weathering properties and are extremely resistant to UV radiation and common industrial and environmental pollutants. The film also is an excellent barrier to water vapor at a wide range of temperatures. This lower permeability is a key advantage in applications where protection from water, oxygen, or other small gas molecules is required. Key Attributes: Low Viscosity Applications: Aerospace Applications; Electrical/Electronic Applications; Industrial Applications; Outdoor Applications Standard Thicknesses and Widths - Widths are available from 22" (559 mm) to 56" (1422 mm). - Products with widths <22 inches or >56 inches are available upon request. - Tolerances for widths are +/- 4mm. - For Halar® film, the standard thicknesses are 8 microns (0.3 mil) to 1016 microns (40 mil). Surface Finishes - Standard surface finish is P/M (polished / matte). - Custom finishes of P/P (polished / polished) and M/M (matte / matte) are available. Packaging - Film is supplied in a roll form of high quality, cardboard core of 3" (76mm) or 6" (152mm). - PVC cores are available upon request in 3" and 6" sizes. Labeling - Products are labeled to comply with national and international standards. - Labels include product grade, unique batch number, roll length, roll width, product thickness, and net weight.
