Fluorinated ethylene propylene, or FEP, was developed in 1956 as a melt processable fluoropolymer alternative to PTFE. FEP can be extruded in long continuous lengths and has several distinct advantages over PTFE. Applications where FEP is chosen are typically those requiring greater optical clarity and flexibility. FEP heat shrink has a lower recovery temperature than PTFE and meets 23053/11 Mil Spec guidelines.
