A derivative of Teflon® that is highly resistant to aggressive media.

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene is a "Teflon" fluorocarbon resin and is a registered T.M. of the DuPont Company. This is a melt extrudable fluorocarbon resin.

Fluorinated ethylene-propylene. A thermoplastic material with good electrical insulating properties and chemical and heat resistance.

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene. FEP is similar to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTPE) but has a melting point of about 50° C lower and slightly different physical properties.

Fluorinated ethylene-propylene. A fluorocarbon extrudable resin with good electrical insulating properties and chemical and heat resistance.

An abbreviation for Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene. This component is commonly referred to as "Teflon®".

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene insulation and jacket compound.

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene. A member of the fluorocarbons, family of plastics, it is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, possessing most of the properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and also having a melt viscosity low enough to permit conventional thermoplastic processing. Available in pellet form for moulding and extrusion, and as dispersions for spray or dip-coating processes.

Fluorinated ethylene polymer, a type of highly chemical-resistant barrier polymers sold by DuPont as Teflon®.
