Besides injection molding, extrusion molding, and rotational molding, fluoropolymer also has many other processing methods. This article further states several common processes.

PFA rod are rod-shaped profiles made mainly from perfluoroalkoxyalkane resin through extrusion and other processes. They are high-performance fluoroplastic products that can be processed by melting.

ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer), as an all-round material in the high-end fluorine plastics field, has long been monopolized by foreign giants. Nowadays, with the technological breakthroughs and in-depth development efforts of domestic enterprises, the China domestic production process of ETFE material is continuously accelerating.

With the continued global expansion of AI models such as ChatGPT and Gemini, and the emergence of general-purpose large-scale models like DeepSeek in China, the barriers to enterprise application have been significantly lowered, accelerating the popularization of artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the surge in the number of AI model users has placed higher requirements on the supply and manufacturing of high-performance servers and high-speed data transmission wire cables. Under this background, UFLON ETFE resin, with its excellent melt flowability and electrical properties, has become an ideal insulation material for high-speed transmission cables, providing strong support for data transmission at the hardware level and meeting the growing needs of artificial intelligence applications.

FEP resin is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. It has good thermal stability, outstanding chemical inertness, excellent electrical insulation and low coefficient of friction, and can be processed by thermoplastic processing methods.

Fluoropolymer, with their outstanding corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, low friction coefficient and excellent electrical insulation, have become key materials in high-end fields. The Fluoropolymer 3D Printing opens up a brand-new track for the application of fluoropolymer, making the manufacturing of high-performance components with complex structures no longer limited by traditional processes.

Watching short videos with full signal strength and no lag, new energy vehicles gain 200 kilometers of range with just 10 minutes of charging, and surgical robots in hospitals perform operations with precision—these conveniences brought by modern technology are all inseparable from a "behind-the-scenes hero": FEP resin.

Fluoropolymers are widely used in high-end fields such as chemical engineering, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices due to their excellent chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, and low coefficient of friction. PTFE, PFA, FEP, and ETFE, as core members of the fluoropolymers family, are primarily manufactured through compression molding, which is one of the main processes for producing shaped parts, sheets, and seals.

PFA sheets and rods have become an indispensable functional material in semiconductor manufacturing due to their excellent chemical stability, high purity, and resistance to extreme environments. They are mainly used in the following processes.

Polyetheretherketone --- PEEK resin, as a special engineering plastic, has a density of only 1.3g/cm³ (half that of aluminum alloy), yet it possesses strength and high-temperature resistance comparable to metals (continuous service temperature of 260°C).
