Fluon^?LM-ETFE Applications

Extrusion	Injection
- Cable - Tubing - FiLM-ETFE	Electronics OA parts Chemical resistance

Characteristics

GRADE	MFR (ASTM-D3159)
LM -720AP	10-20g/10 min
LM- 730AP	20-30g/10 min
LM- 740AP	30-40g/10 min

The melting point is lowered by 30 - 40 ?C compared to that of the conventional ETFE resin.
FiLM-ETFE with excellent transparency can be produced.
Processing can be performed in a wide temperature range.
