                                OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT
                     ----------------------------------------------------

Position:           Vice President - Research & Development.  Reporting directly
                    to you will be CHEMFAB's R & D staff located at our
                    Merrimack, NH headquarters.  You will report directly to
                    Duane Montopoli.

Cash Compensation:  $120,000 per annum base salary with an annual review on or
                    about September 1st.  Additionally, you will be paid $20,000

                    CHEMFAB, or (2) January 4, 1993.  You will also be eligible
                    to participate in CHEMFAB's Officer Bonus Plan for FY 1993
                    (i.e. our year which ends June 30, 1993) and each fiscal
                    year thereafter.  Please note that annual bonuses under this
                    plan are discretionary, based on performance, and subject to
                    CHEMFAB Board approval.

Equity:             Effective on your first day of employment at CHEMFAB you
                    will be granted non-qualified stock options on 30,000 shares
                    of CHEMFAB common stock at an exercise price equal to the
                    closing price on that day.  These options will vest (i.e.
                    become exercisable) as follows:

                        One year from date of employment     7,500 shares
                        Two years from date of employment    7,500 shares
                        Three years from date of employment  7,500 shares
                        Four years from date of employment   7,500 shares
                                                            ------

                        TOTAL   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30,000

                    If prior to the scheduled vesting date of any of the above-
                    listed options CHEMFAB is acquired by another entity (i.e.
                    there is a change of control), then the vesting of all such
                    options (i.e. the as yet unvested options) shall be
                    accelerated to the date which is one day prior to the
                    corporate acquisition date.

Company Loan:       Upon the commencement of your employment, the Company will
                    loan you $60,000 cash.  Subject to the provisions stated
                    below, this loan will be interest free and will be repayable
                    to the Company as a lump-sum on 9/1/96.  On August 31 of
                    each year hereafter, provided you are then a CHEMFAB
                    employee, the Company will forgive $15,000 of this loan
                    amount.  If for the fiscal year most recently then ended
                    (i.e. the year ended on the preceding June 30), you are
                    awarded a cash bonus under CHEMFAB's Officer Bonus Plan,
                    then the amount of the forgiveness in that year will serve
                    to reduce (but not below zero) the bonus amount otherwise
                    payable to you.  If you voluntarily terminate your
                    employment with the Company before 9/1/96 other than for
                    Reason (as defined in the enclosed Level A Employee
                    Agreement - see below), then any remaining outstanding
                    principal balance of the loan will become immediately due
                    and payable.  If your employment with the Company is
                    terminated for any other reason (whether for Cause as
                    defined in the enclosed Level A Employee Agreement, or as a
                    result of death or permanent disability, etc.), then any
                    remaining outstanding principal balance will be forgiven.
                    (In effect, you control whether any portion of the loan ever
                    becomes repayable.)  The loan will be secured by a Second
                    Deed of Trust on your Maine house (this will enable you to
                    claim an interest expense tax deduction in your personal tax
                    return).

Benefits:           See attached Summary Outline.  CHEMFAB will also reimburse
                    you for any medical insurance premium costs you must incur
                    personally until such time as you become eligible for
                    coverage under CHEMFAB's medical insurance program.

Severance:          In the unexpected circumstance that your employment is ter-
                    minated by CHEMFAB for any reason other than for Cause (as
                    defined in the enclosed Level A Employee Agreement), you
                    will qualify for salary continuation (i.e. severance pay)
                    during the nine-month period following termination date,
                    subject to dollar-for-dollar reduction for cash amounts
                    received by you or accrued for your benefit from any
                    successor employer or other entity which pays you for
                    services rendered during that period. 

Moving Expenses:    At the time of your family's relocation to New England in
                    connection with your employment at CHEMFAB, the Company will
                    pay for all reasonable costs of moving your family and
                    household possessions.

                    Additionally, if at the time you either: 1) close on the
                    purchase of a new residence in New Hampshire, or 2) enter
                    into a rental or lease agreement on a new residence in New
                    Hampshire, you have not yet closed on the sale of your New
                    York residence, the Company will pay 100% of the monthly
                    mortgage obligation (principal and interest) on your New
                    York residence through the earlier of (1) the closing date
                    on the sale of your New York house or (2) 12 months,
                    whichever occurs first.

Auto Expense:       As we discussed, since you will likely initially move into
                    your Maine house, and it will take some time thereafter for
                    you to decide on permanent principal residence location, the
                    Company will reimburse you at the rate of $.28 per mile for
                    commuting mileage from/to your Maine house in your personal
                    auto through the earlier of (1) the closing date on the sale
                    of your New York house or (2) 12 months, whichever occurs
                    first.

Use of CHEMFAB      CHEMFAB maintains a house at its Merrimack head-
Site House:         quarters site.  We will make this house available to you
                    (subject to general availability) for your use on evenings
                    when you would prefer to stay over.

Confidentiality,    Prior to or concurrent with the commencement of
Non-Compete, etc.:  your employment by CHEMFAB, you will enter into a LEVEL A
                    Employee Agreement with the Company (attached).
