TFX OEM® ETCH-FREE, EFEP CO-EXTRUSION

AT A GLANCE

• Our one-step process eliminates the need for etching
• EFEP can be co-extruded as an outer layer, tube liner, or laminated over coil/braid reinforced assemblies
• Custom co-extrusions manufactured to your specifications

One-Step Process Eliminates the Need for Etching

• EFEP can be co-extruded with polyamide- or PEBA-type materials in a one-step process that eliminates the need for etching.
• EFEP co-extrusion creates tubing with high clarity making it a good choice for applications where transparency is important.

Unique Characteristics of EFEP Co-Extrusion

• EFEP co-extrusion has all the advantages of fluoropolymers:
  • Lubricity
  • Chemical resistance
  • Biocompatibility
• EFEP co-extrusion also offers the advantages of traditional materials like polyamide or PEBA:
  • Flexibility
  • Ease of bonding
  • Over molding
• EFEP can be co-extruded as:
  • Outer layer
  • Tube liner
  • Laminated over coil- or braid-reinforced assemblies

Technical Information:

• EFEP is a terpolymer of ethylene, tetrafluoropropylene, and hexafluoropropylene.
• EFEP can produce low durometer tubing that is dimensionally stable.
• Tubing stiffness is tailored to specific applications by varying the durometer of the co-extruded material.
• USP Class VI approved material.

Sterilization:

• EtO
• Gamma
