2. Fluorinated ethylene propylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinated_ethylene_propylene

   FEP is very similar in composition to the fluoropolymers PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and PFA (perfluoroalkoxy polymer resin). FEP and PFA both share PTFE's useful properties of low friction and non-reactivity, but are more easily formable. FEP is softer than PTFE and melts at 260 °C; it is highly transparent and resistant to sunlight. [3] [4]

3. Heat-shrink tubing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing

   PTFE (fluoropolymer) tubes have a wide operating temperature range (-55 to 175 °C), a low coefficient of friction, and high resistance to chemicals and punctures. [7] Viton, another fluoropolymer with high chemical resistance, is widely used in hydraulic equipment. It is highly flexible, with a very wide operating temperature range of -55 to ...

4. List of synthetic polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_synthetic_polymers

   Used for manufacturing optical fiber cables, umbilical cables, drumheads, automotive industry, ropes, wire ropes and cables: Teflon: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Very low coefficient of friction, excellent dielectric properties, high melting, chemically inert: Plain bearings, gears, non-stick pans, etc. due to its low friction.

5. Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene

   Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert. [3] The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, [4] a spin-off from DuPont, which originally discovered the compound in 1938. [4]

6. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-molecular...

   Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene.Also known as high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. [1]

7. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

   HDPE: used for film (wrapping of goods), blow molding (e.g. bottles), injection molding (e.g., toys, screw caps), extrusion coating (e.g., coating on milk cartons), piping for distributing water and gas, insulation for telephone cables. Wire and cable insulation. LDPE: mainly (70%) used for film. [1] Polypropylene: injection molding, fibers ...

8. High-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene

   HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. [4] The density of HDPE ranges from 930 to 970 kg/m 3. [5] Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength (38 MPa versus 21 MPa) than LDPE. [6]

9. ETFE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETFE

   ETFE is commonly used in the nuclear industry for tie or cable wraps and in the aviation and aerospace industries for wire coatings. This is because ETFE has better mechanical toughness than PTFE. In addition, ETFE exhibits a high-energy radiation resistance and can withstand moderately high temperatures for a long period.
