Fluon(R)LM-ETFE
  Fluon®LM-ETFE is a new fluororesin which combines the excellent properties in heat resistance and other mechanical properties owned by ETFE resin and the low melting point.

Features and advantages of Fluon®LM-ETFE

  1. The melting point is lower by 30-40deg.C compared to that of the conventional ETFE resin.
  2. Film with excellent transparency can be produced.
  3. Processing can be performed in a wide temperature range.

Basic properties of Fluon®LM-ETFE

In addition to the mechanical properties similar to that owned by the conventional ETFE, Fluon® LM-ETFE shows original features in the melting point, thermal decomposition, flame resistance and flexibility.
