ThermoPlastic Fluoroelastomer (TPF)

Thermoplastic fluoroelastomer (TPF) is a special type of engineering polymer that combines the properties of plastics and fluorinated elastomers. These materials are used in specific industries and applications due to their unique properties, such as very high chemical resistance, heat and weather resistance, and resistance to oils and solvents.

TPF structure and properties

TPFs are usually block copolymers consisting of soft blocks (such as polyether) and hard blocks (such as fluoropolymers).

Very high chemical resistance
Heat resistance
Air resistance
Resistance to oils and solvents
Good electrical properties
Moldability

TPF applications

TPF is used in specific industries and applications due to its unique properties, including:

Automotive industry: Production of chemical-resistant gaskets, fuel pipes, and engine parts.
Aerospace industry: Production of parts exposed to high temperatures and corrosive environments.
Chemical industry: Production of coatings and pipes that are in contact with corrosive chemicals.
Electronics industry: Production of insulators and parts exposed to moisture and chemicals.
Medical industry: Production of pipes and parts that are in contact with chemical and biological materials.

Advantages of using TPF

Very high chemical resistance: TPF is suitable for applications that require high chemical resistance.
Heat resistance: TPF performs well in high temperature environments.
Good electrical properties: TPF is suitable for electronic applications.
Excellent moldability: Mass production of products at low cost
Long life: TPF is resistant to environmental factors and has a longer life.
