Balanced Performance

Engineered for high-rate versatility.

Everflon™ ETFE 4010 balances mechanical toughness, broad thermal capability, and efficient melt processing speeds for diversified industrial applications.

01

Intermediate Melt Flow

Nominal MFR of 7 g/10min enables higher throughput in extrusion, complex injection molding, and thin-wall component production.

02

Universal Chemical Inertness

Inert to almost all industrial chemicals, strong acids, bases, and solvents. Outstanding weather resistance and zero hydrolytic degradation.

03

Thermal & Impact Resilience

Continuous reliability up to 150 °C (302 °F) with excellent Izod impact strength (No Break) and cut-through resistance maintained across cryogenic ranges.

04

Stable Dielectric Performance

Low dielectric constant (2.5–2.6) and high dielectric strength (70 kV/mm) provide exceptional electrical insulation for connectors and wiring.

Processing & End Uses

Target Applications & Processing Guidelines

Engineered for balanced melt processing rates and multi-industry versatility.

Typical End Products
  • Electrical & Electronic Components: Sleeving, coil forms, sockets, multi-pin connectors, and switches.

  • Laboratory & Medical Ware: Chemical tubing, micro-valves, containers, and analytical dishes.

  • Battery & Instrumentation Parts: Structural components requiring chemical inertness and dimensional stability.

  • Chemical Service Hardware: Valve components, seal glands, pipe plugs, and corrugated tubing.

  • Industrial Films & Sheets: Extruded high-clarity release films and protective barriers.

Melt Processing Recommendations
  • Processing Techniques: Conventional melt extrusion, injection, compression, transfer, and blow molding.

  • Barrel & Melt Temperatures: Residence heating up to approximately 345 °C (650 °F). Long L/D barrels recommended.

  • Tool Metallurgy: Corrosion-resistant alloys (e.g., Hastelloy, Inconel) required in contact with molten resin.

  • Viscosity Behavior: Melt viscosity decreases with shear rate, permitting narrow die pressure extrusion.

  • Machine Selection: Reciprocating screw injection machines preferred for uniform plastification.
