Saint-Gobain Norton® FEP Fluoropolymer Film

Features/Benefits:Outstanding clarityOutstanding anti-stick release propertiesPerformance from -254°C (-425°F) to 205°C (400°F)Exceptional chemical resistance and electric propertiesComplies with FDA requirementsProduct thicknesses from 0.0005" to 0.010" and up to 48" for over 0.010" thickOptically transparent and pigmentedAll films are manufactured and converted in class 100,000 clean room facilityAvailable in cementable (surface treated) formNorton® FEP fluoropolymer film is manufactured from fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) resin by Saint-Gobain Advanced Films and Fabrics in four grades.Norton® FEP Type FG utilizes the low dielectric constant and dissipation over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies for low signal distortion and attenuation in flexible printed circuit and flat cable applications. The high surface and volume resistivity minimizes current leakage and provides excellent insulation in wire and cable applications.Norton® FEP also provides the chemical and thermal resistance to withstand aggressive environments, making it an excellent candidate for diaphragms, gaskets, protective linings, sample bags, and containers. Fabricated shapes and contours can be produced via heat sealing and thermoforming. The outstanding weatherability and optical properties of Norton® FEP film provide excellent performance in environmental growth chambers and solar collectors.Norton® Type FS is a translucent film made from high molecular weight resin for applications where high flex life and stress-crack-resistant performance are required, such as tank linings and diaphragms.Norton® FEP Type RF is a clear or pigmented film designed for release applications. The non-stick surface, chemical resistance, and 205°C (400°F) usage temperature make Norton® FEP an ideal release film for composite molding over a wide range of resin systems. High elongation and a smooth, low-gel film surface allow Norton® FEP to to conform to complex mold contours and produce a smooth part finish. Perforated film is available to control outgassing and resin bleed. Pigmented films increase visibility to speed removal from parts and mold.Norton® FEP Type WF (mechanical grade) film is an ideal economical solution for applications that don't require high aesthetic standards, such as hot melt adhesive (welding tape) application. FEP WF film possess all physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of FEP FG grade, while offering up to 15% savings.Surface Treatments Available: C-Treatable (cementable, 1 or 2 sides); Corona Treatment (1 or 2 sides); Chemical Etching (1 or 2 sides)Flammability (UL-94) = V - 0 Used for Aerospace/Release Films, Chemical Process, Electrical/Electronics, Medical, Protective/Decorative.Specification Notes: All values represent typical performance properties and should not be used for specification purposes.Information provided by Saint Gobain Performance Products.
