Fluorinated Ethylene-Propylene - FEP

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene Copolymer (FEP) is a semi-crystalline perfluorinated polymer closely linked to PTFE (FP30) being a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. Its properties are similar, but mostly a little low-grade to, those of PTFE but it has the excellent practical benefit of being melt-processable (though more expensive).
