Cathay™ Fluoropolymer Films

The unique properties of Everflon™ and Cathay™ films make them useful for many diverse applications. These transparent, thermoplastic films can be heat-sealed, die-stamped, oriented, thermoformed, vacuum formed, heat bonded, welded, metalized, and laminated with many other materials like elastomers and plastics. They can also be used as hot-melt adhesives.

These non-wetting, non-charring films have no electrical tracking and offer:
Chemical compatibility, inertness, and solvent-resistance to nearly all chemicals
Superior anti-stick and low frictional properties with high resistance to impact and tearing
Useful physical properties at cryogenic temperatures
Long-term weather resistance, including a high transmittance of ultraviolet radiation and other radiation (except for far infrared [FIR])
These films come in a variety of gauges and surface treatments.
