Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS
Fluoroplastic Resin

Product Information
Description

Processing

Tefzel ETFE HT-2202HS is a special-purpose
fluoroplastic resin available in 2.5-mm (0.1-in) pellets.
Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS is a high flow modified ETFE
resin designed to promote adhesion between polyamide
resins and ETFE resins.

Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS can be processed by conventional
melt-extrusion techniques and injection, compression,transfer, and blow molding processes. Also, the melt
viscosity of Tefzel™ is reduced with increasing shear rate;thus, permitting the use of pressure extrusions throughnarrow dies without requiring appreciable draw-down. All
standard multilayer equipment can be used to manufactureparts with Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS. The polyamide resin
as well as the Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS must be molten at
the same time to get best adhesion properties. Corrosionresistant metals should be used in contact with molten resin.

™

Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS and the other Tefzel™
fluoroplastics are melt processible, modified copolymersof ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. They are highperformance resins that can be processed at relativelyhigh rates compared with other fluorocarbon resins. They
are mechanically tough and offer an excellent balanceof properties.
Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS is an easy-to-processadhesive material. Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS is inert
to most solvents and chemicals, hydrolytically stable,and weather-resistant. Recommended upper service
is 150 °C (302 °F); useful properties are retained atcryogenic ranges. The level and stability of dielectric
properties are excellent. Mechanical properties include
outstanding high-impact strength, cut-through, andabrasion resistance.
Typical End ProductsTefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS is ideal for many end products,
including electrical components, such as sleeving, coilforms, sockets, connectors, and switches; lab ware, multilayer tubing, valves, containers, and fasteners; battery orinstrument components that require chemical inertness;and mechanical parts.

Processing temperatures should be held as cold as possible,
preferably around 300 °C (572 °F), to minimize thermal
degradation of the resin.
Safety Precautions
Before using Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS, refer to the Safety
Data Sheet and the latest edition of “The Guide to the Safe
Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins,” published by The Societyof the Plastics Industry, Inc. (www.fluoropolymers.org) or by
PlasticsEurope (www.plasticseurope.org).
Open and use containers only in well-ventilated areasusing local exhaust ventilation (LEV). Vapors and fumes
liberated during hot processing, or from smoking tobacco
or cigarettes contaminated with Tefzel™ ETFE HT-2202HS,
may cause flu-like symptoms (chills, fever, sore throat)that may not occur until several hours after exposure andtypically pass within about 24 hours. Vapors and fumes
liberated during hot processing should be exhausted
completely from the work area; contamination of tobaccowith polymers should be avoided.
Mixtures with some finely divided metals, such as
magnesium or aluminum, can be flammable or explosive
under some conditions.
