PCTFE
PCTFE, or poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene), is an amorphous fluoropolymer known for a unique combination of chemical resistance, barrier properties, and dimensional stability. It is processed into films, sheets, and molded parts and is used in applications where low permeability to gases and moisture is important.
Key properties of PCTFE include exceptionally low gas and water vapor permeability, excellent chemical resistance to
Processing and forms: PCTFE is a thermoplastic that can be extruded, calendared, blown into films, or molded
Applications: The polymer is widely used in barrier packaging films for food and electronics, including film
History and naming: PCTFE is commonly referred to by the trade name Kel-F in historical contexts, reflecting
