DuPont Tefzel® HT-2160 Static Dissipating Semiconductive Resin

Subcategory: Fluoropolymer; Thermoplastic; ETFE/ECTFE

Key Words: Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene Copolymer; DuPont Fluoroproducts

Material Notes:
DuPont™ Tefzel ® fluoropolymer HT-2160 resin combines the chemical and high-temperature resistance of Tefzel ® with antistatic levels of electrical conductivity. Tefzel ® HT-2160 and the other Tefzel ® fluoropolymers are melt processible, modified copolymers of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. They are high-performance resins that can be processed at relatively high rates compared to other fluoropolymer resins. They are mechanically tough and offer an excellent balance of properties.

Tefzel ® HT-2160 can perform successfully in applicationswhere other thermoplastics are lacking in mechanical toughness, broad thermal capability, abilityto meet difficult environmental conditions, or limited by fabricating problems.

Properly processed products made from virgin Tefzel ® HT-2160 are inert to most solvents and chemicals, hydrolytically stable, and weather resistant. The recommended upper service temperature is 150°C (302°F); useful properties are retained at cryogenic ranges. Mechanical properties include outstanding impact strength and cut-through and abrasion resistance.

Applications

Tefzel ® HT-2160 resin can be used to manufacture extruded tubing, pipe, and other profiles for hose; linings of components used in the chemical processing industries; industrial film; injection and blow-molded articles requiring superior electrical, chemical, and thermal properties.
