Fluoropolymer family is melt-processable. (Keeping up with Materials).A brand-new family of fluoropolymers that can be melt processed along with numerous other thermoplastics in multi-layer structures has been introduced by Daikin America Inc., Orangeburg, N.Y The new EFEP EFEP Easiest Fault Effect Propagation Path materials include grades with melting points melting point, temperature at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid. Under standard atmospheric pressure different pure crystalline solids will each melt at a different specific temperature; thus melting point is a characteristic of a substance and from 329 to 383 F. EFEP can be coextruded or comolded with nylon, modified PE, EVOH EVOH Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Polymer (chemical industry) , and ETFE ETFE Ethylene/Tetrafluoroethylene Copolymer . The materials are also said to bond to glass and metal surfaces without adhesives or etching. Their excellent clarity suits them for see-through valve and pump parts used in chemical processing, as well as components for automotive fuel systems, solar panels, down-hole water and oil drilling, and semi-conductor handling equipment.
