Etch-Free EFEP Co-Extrusion

One-Step Process Eliminates the Need for Etching

■ EFEP can be co-extruded with polyamide- or PEBA-type materials in a one-step process that eliminates the need for etching.

■ EFEP co-extrusion creates tubing with high clarity making it a good choice for applications where transparency is important.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF EFEP CO-EXTRUSION
■ EFEP co-extrusion has all the advantages of fluoropolymers:
◦ Lubricity
◦ Chemical resistance
◦ Biocompatibility

■ EFEP co-extrusion also offers the advantages of traditional materials like polyamide or PEBA:
◦ Flexibility
◦ Ease of bonding
◦ Over molding

■ EFEP can produce low durometer tubing that is dimensionally stable.

■ Tubing stiffness is tailored to specific applications by varying the durometer of the co-extruded material.

■ USP Class VI approved material.

■ EFEP can be co-extruded as:
◦ Outer layer
◦ Tube liner
◦ Laminated over coil- or braid-reinforced assemblies

STERILIZATION
■ EtO or Gamma
