nFEP – PFA or FEP film Which one in better? New to fep-film.com is a range of PFA film to complement our successful FEP film options and based on many requests from specialized 3D print companies. PFA films can be supplied in a range of thicknesses: 50 micron 100 micron 125 micron 150 micron It […]
Below you will find an overview of the properties of FEP, some examples where FEP is used for and the typical values of FEP in a FEP datasheet. FEP properties These properties of FEP make it a widely used material in a variety of different applications: Negligible moisture absorption Very low coefficient of friction Non-stick […]
Etching of FEP FEP and all other fluoroplastics or teflon ® types are known for the non-stick properties. This also provides the necessary challenges, there are quite some applications where the FEP must be glued to rubber, glass, metal or an other surface. Because FEP has the ultimate non-stick surface, it is impossible to glue […]
What is Teflon ® ? WHAT IS TEFLON – Teflon ® is a brand name of the chemistry concern Chemours. Teflon ® is generally used to indicate the plastic PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). PTFE was discovered incidentally in 1938 by Mr. R. Plunkett while working as a chemist for DuPont in New Jersey, USA. In 1938 the […]
FEP FLEXVAT – FEP non-stick sheet is a very good alternative to PDMS and silicone to use as a bottom for a Flexvat. A Flexvat with a FEP bottom has a durable release surface that is easy to keep clean. A flexvat is used in “bottom up” 3D printers such as DLP and SLA 3d […]
CHEMICALLY RESISTANT FILM – Often a FEP curtain is used in situations of open chemical fluids. This curtain acts like a safety barrier between the chemical and the people working in the factory. Safety above everything. Chemically resistant, transparent and the strength of the FEP chemically resistant film make this material suitable for this application. […]
FEP FILM AND UV DISINFECTION – FEP has the property that it does not block UV radiation, measurements show that about 97% of UV light is transmitted. In addition, FEP is totally unaffected by UV, it does not degrade or discolor. As a result, FEP film is often used in applications where products or plants […]
FEP SEALS AND GASKETS – FEP has a very good resistance to almost all chemicals. Besides that, FEP can handle high temperatures up to 204 °C and is not effected by UV radiation. This unique combination of properties make FEP often suitable as gasket or seal especially in high demanding surroundings. If you want to […]
FEP RELEASE FILM – FEP is often used as a release film or separation film due to the unsurpassed non-stick capabilities, exceptional formation to complex surfaces and resistance to high temperatures make FEP film often very suitable as a release film. Especially in the composite industry FEP film is regularly used, with the non-stick capabilities, […]
