Fluon® LH-8000 is a new addition to the LM-ETFE AH Series. This ETFE (tetrafluoroethylene
-ethylene copolymer) has a functional group polymerized directly in to the chain backbone, allowing it to adhere to other materials. This resin is ideal for producing multi-layer structures in a one-step process without the need for surface treatment or a separate adhesive layer. LH-8000 offers the lowest melting point of all the AH series resins, yet with the same desirable properties of other ETFEs, including non-stick, excellent processability, and superior chemical resistance.
Features of LH-8000
The lowest melting point in the LM-ETFE AH series (180ºC vs. 240ºC)
Wide range of processing temperatures between the melting point of 180ºC and the onset of degradation at 395 ºC
Excellent adhesion to other materials, such as polyamides, polyethylenes, or metals
Corrosive off-gas levels at melt processing are very low
Equivalent mechanical, chemical resistance, electrical, and non-stick properties to conventional ETFE resins
High transparency, low mold shrinkage
