Commercial Polymer Types and Grades

Commercial polymers are classified into two types; one is the TFE-P dipolymer type (AFLAS_® 100/150 Series), and the other is the TFE-P-VdF terpolymer type (AFLAS_® 200 Series). AFLAS_® 200 Series is characterized by the improved low-temperature properties, demoldability and metal bonding while maintaining most of the high heat and chemical resistance and electrical resistivity of the dipolymer. Below the current polymer grades are listed, which are mainly classified according to Mooney viscosity. Dipolymer is mostly used in the wire and cable, and automotive industries, while terpolymer is often favored for automotive use in terms of processability.
