KEL-F

Kel-F® (PolyChloroTriFluoroEthylene) is a fluorocarbon based polymer and is frequently abbreviated as PCTFE. PCTFE combines physical and mechanical properties, non-flammability, chemical resistance, near zero moisture absorption and excellent electrical properties not found in any other thermoplastic fluropolymer.

Kel-F® also known as PCTFE or CTFE has many of the properties similar to other fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP, or PFA, but is mechanically superior in rigidity and has very low gas permeability.

Kel-F® maintains an outstanding electrical-insulating capability through thermal cycling and in high humidity environments. This material’s high compressive strength and dimensional stability make it a good choice for structural material, while its low outgassing rate and permeability make PCTFE a great choice for laboratory, aerospace, flight applications, and instrumentation.

Please Note: The Kel-F® brand belongs to 3M, but their production was discontinued in 1995. The only remaining resin is made by Daikin Industries of Japan and called Neoflon®.
