A chemical compound containing fluorine, especially a fluorocarbon. producer, is planning construction of a tetrafluoroethylene Noun 1. tetrafluoroethylene - a flammable gaseous fluorocarbon used in making plastics (polytetrafluoroethylene resins) fluorocarbon - a halocarbon in which some hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine; used in refrigerators and aerosols (TFE TFE Tetrafluoroethylene TFE Travail de Fin d'Études (Belgium) TFE Totalfinaelf (Oil and Gas) TFE Trifluoroethanol TFE Thin Film Electronics TFE 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol ) monomer facility and Hyfion MFA perfluoropolymer unit in the United States. Production startup is scheduled for the first quarter of 2001. The new TFE manufacturing plant will serve as the base for the production of Ausimont's specialty fluoropolymers and other fluorinated fluorinated material to which a fluoride has been added, e.g. water for human consumption treated as a prophylaxis against tooth decay. products in the U.S. Production capacities of 7,500 metric tons for TFE and 5,000 metric tons of fluoropolymers are planned. Ausimont's initial investment in the new facility will exceed $200 million. |
