MARKET OVERVIEW:
ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) and ECTFE (Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene) coatings are high-performance fluoropolymer materials known for their exceptional chemical resistance, durability, and thermal stability. These coatings provide superior protection against corrosion, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications. The material’s unique properties stem from its molecular structure, which combines fluorine and carbon bonds to create a highly inert surface.
