FEP

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene; it has a continuous operating temperature of 200 ⁰C. Due to its outstanding physical, mechanical and electrical properties, this resin is used at CCG in the polymer compounding and extrusion business segments. Extruded components include tubing, rods, cross-webs and other complex profile designs. FEP resin is used in FluoroChar®, CCG’s low-drip and high char-forming additive, and FluoroFoam®, CCG’s unique patented chemical foaming masterbatch and compound product line.

MFA

MFA is a specialty type of melt-processable perfluoropolymer resulting from the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and perfluoromethylvinyl ether (PFPME). MFA has a continuous operating temperature of 235 ⁰C. Because of its outstanding chemical resistance and thermal behavior, MFA resin is used at CCG in extruded components (as an alternative to FEP), filament and staple fiber, and polymer compound and masterbatch products such as FluoroFoam®.

PFA

Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether. PFA has a continuous operating temperature of 250 ⁰C. PFA is a tough, flexible polymer used for tubing and fluid processing equipment when chemical resistance, high purity, and low stiffness are required. PFA resin is used at CCG in the production of FluoroSpun® staple fiber as well as in extruded cable components.

PVDF

Polyvinylidene fluoride/difluoride (PVDF) is a family of thermoplastic fluoropolymer resins. PVDF has a continuous operating temperature of 150 ⁰C. This resin is produced by the polymerization of vinyldidene difluoride. PVDF resins are used at CCG in the production of polymer compounds, such as CCG’s new FluoroTone™ family of color concentrate formulations in addition to several proprietary, custom-designed compounds for injection molding applications. PVDF resins are widely used in the transit and automotive industries.

ETFE

Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) resin is used at CCG in the production of extruded profiles in the form of cable components and polymer compounds, such as CCG’s new FluoroTone™ family of color concentrate formulations. ETFE has a continuous operating temperature of 150 ⁰C, when cross linked the ETFE provides a 200 ⁰C temperature capability. ETFE is widely used in the Oil & Gas industry for its high temperature and chemical resistance properties.

ECTFE

Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE) is a copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene designed to provide chemical resistance in heavy-duty corrosion applications. ECTFE resin is used at CCG in the production of polymer compounds and masterbatch products for the production of copper-based wire, fiber optic cables, and category cables.
