This company has added a resin to its LM-ETFE AH series of adhesive fluoropolymers. Fluon® ETFE LH-8000 reportedly exhibits advanced adhesive properties that allow it to bond to dissimilar materials, such as polyamides, polyethylenes, and metals. The adhesive functionality of the material is applicable for producing multilayer structures in a one-step process without surface treatment and by often eliminating the need for a tie layer.
LH-8000 has chemical resistance and electrical and non-stick properties equivalent to conventional ETFE resins. However, it is reportedly an ultra-low-melting resin that is cost-effective for applications such as chemical bags, hot water hoses, rubber hose mandrels, anti-stick conveyor belts, multilayer monofilament, interlayer insulation film for electronic substrates and tubes that convey harsh materials in the chemical, plastics, oil and gas, building and paint industries.
