Continuous Service Temp
UL 94 V-0
Flame Rating
ASTM D3159
Type I, Grade 1 Standard
Uncompromising Reliability
Built for severe operational limits.
Where standard thermoplastics fail under continuous mechanical vibration or harsh chemical immersion, Everflon™ ETFE 4003 delivers unmatched structural retention.
01
Superior ESCR & Flex-Life
Formulated with high molecular integrity to withstand continuous cyclic flexing, severe impact, cut-through, and environmental stress cracking.
02
Universal Chemical Inertness
Inert to strong industrial solvents, acids, and bases. Hydrolytically stable with extremely low water absorption (< 0.01%).
03
Broad Thermal Span
Performs continuously up to 150 °C (302 °F) with full mechanical toughness and impact resistance retained even at cryogenic temperatures.
04
Thick-Section Moldability
Controlled low melt flow allows precise transfer molding, compression molding, and heavy-wall encapsulation around metal inserts.

Fabrication & Utility
Target Applications & Processing Guide
Optimized for heavy-duty industrial fabrication requiring prolonged mechanical load and anti-corrosion barriers.
■ Target Industrial End Uses
Chemical Valve & Pipe Linings: Heavy-gauge corrosion barriers, column packings, and pump housings.
Molded Thick-Section Components: Complex parts molded with metal inserts requiring minimal stress cracking.
Pump Impellers & Fluid Handling: High abrasion resistance and mechanical strength under high shear.
Nuclear & High-Radiation Equipment: Meets IEEE 383 standards for nuclear power plant components.
Corrugated Tubing & Conduit: Extreme flex-fatigue life under dynamic thermal cycling.
■ Melt Processing Parameters
Processing Techniques: Conventional melt-extrusion, injection, transfer, compression, and blow molding.
Barrel & Melt Temperatures: Heating zone up to approximately 340 °C (640 °F). Long L/D extruder barrels recommended.
Tool Metallurgy: Corrosion-resistant alloys (e.g., Hastelloy, Inconel) required in contact with molten resin.
Viscosity Behavior: Melt viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, permitting narrow die extrusion.
Machine Recommendation: Reciprocating screw injection machines preferred.
