FEP – Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Applications

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (abbreviated FEP) was originally invented by DuPont, and sold under their PTFE brandname. It is a thermoplastic resin that can be melt processed using conventional techniques. FEP films are available with one or both sides treated for bonding. FEP typically melts between 535 – 550 Degrees F
