Lubricious, chemically inert, and stable at a wide temperature range, Fluoropolymers are the materials of choice in a large spectrum of medical applications. Our Fluoropolymers form two basic categories based on method of manufacture: Paste (PTFE) or Melt (FEP, MFA, PFA, ETFE, PVDF, THV).

Fluoropolymer Properties

• Low coefficient of friction
• Useful mechanical properties maintained from -450F" to 500F" for PTFE
• 450F" to 400F" for FEP
• Chemically inert
• Wear resistant
• High dielectric strength

• FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene): Regional anesthesia (Epidural catheters); Intravenous catheters; Vascular access (Dilators and sheaths, Intro needle assemblies); Fiber Optics, Insulin delivery.
• ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride): Intravenous catheters; Fluid transfer; Electrical insulation.
• PFA, MFA (Perfluoroalkoxy): In vitro diagnostics; Fluid transfer
• THV (Tetrafluoroethylene, Hexafluoropropylene, Vinylidene Fluoride): Fiber Optics
