Understanding FEP Melt Flow Rates

Select from our range of grades with varying Melt Flow Rates (MFR), tailored to specific processing needs.

MFR (g/10 min) is inversely related to melt viscosity and determines the polymer’s flow behavior during melt processing such as extrusion or molding.

Lower MFR

  • Higher viscosity
  • Increased melt strength
  • Suitable for processes requiring dimensional stability

Ideal for: Extrusion and molding of products with thick walls

Higher MFR

  • Lower viscosity
  • Easier flow
  • Ideal for intricate shapes and thin-wall applications

Ideal for: injection molding, fast-processing techniques

Note: MFR is not a direct measurement of viscosity but a standard flow index obtained under specific conditions (ISO 1133 or ASTM D1238).

Advanced Fluoropolymer Applications

Tailored for Chemical, Medical, and Electronics Sectors

📘 MFR Guide Summary

  • Low MFR (1–5): Good melt strength and toughness — for coatings and structural components
  • Medium MFR (5–15): Ideal balance of flexibility and processability — for tubing and cable insulation
  • High MFR (15–30): Superior flow — for thin-wall, high-purity electronics applications

Applications:: Tubing, pump and valve linings, seals, gaskets, chemical tank linings

Applications:  Cable jacketing for submersible pumps, fuel tubing, seals, gaskets
