ETFE is a fluoropolymer that is chemically and structurally similar to polyolefins (such as polyethylene) and therefore has higher wear resistance, impact resistance and crushing resistance than its perfluorinated (perfluoropolymer) counterparts -PTFE, FEP and PFA. ETFE tubes are commonly used in wire harnesses, outer film applications that require weather resistance, and tank linings that require special chemical and wear resistance. Its high tensile strength at 25 ° C also leads to higher operating pressures at that temperature.
