Compatibility Rating
At 20°C (68°F)
Excellent
Excellent resistance - recommended for continuous use
At 50°C (122°F)
Good
Good resistance - suitable for intermittent contact
Why is ECTFE/ETFE resistant to Ethyl Acetate?
ECTFE/ETFE shows excellent resistance to Ethyl Acetate due to its partially fluorinated structure offering broad chemical resistance at high temperatures.
⚠️ When NOT to use ECTFE/ETFE
Avoid using ECTFE/ETFE Fluoropolymer with very few chemicals — mainly hot amines and sodium above certain concentrations. Excellent up to 150°C.
