Zeus extrudes a wide variety of fluoropolymers and specialized plastics with a history of successful medical and industrial applications. For more detailed technical information about each resin, click on the links to the right or view our Summary of Properties.Note: We do not sell resin. We manufacture extruded polymer tubing. The following technical information is presented to help assist in your selection of a resin for extruded tubing or heat shrink.
 Fluoropolymers
 |
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
 |
Lowest coefficient of friction of any polymer |
|
Extremely broad working temperature range |
|
Maximum working temperature 500° F |
|
More info about PTFE >>
|
|
|
FEP (Fluorinatedethylenepropylene)
|
More transparent than PTFE |
|
Better gas and vapor permeability properties than PTFE |
|
Maximum working temperature 400° F |
|

|
|
|
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy)
|
Higher continuous service temperature than FEP |
|
Melt processible - so it can be processed in longer continuous lengths than PTFE |
|
Maximum working temperature 500° F |
|

|
|
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Flouride)
|
|
THV (Tetrafluoroethylene, Hexafluoropropylene and Vinylidene Fluoride)
|
|
ETFE (Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene)
|
|
ECTFE (Chloro Trifluoro Ethylene / Ethylene Copolymer)
|
Other Polymers
|
PET (Polyethylene Terepthalate Polyester)
|
UV resistant |
|
Extremely strong |
|
|
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
|

|
Good chemical resistance |
|
Wide range of flexibility |
|
|
Polyethylene (HDPE, MDPE, LDPE)
|
Inherent lubricity |
|
Excellent chemical resistance |
