The invention provides a fluorothermoplastic composition comprising interpolymerized
units derived from about 94 to about 97.5 mole percent (mol %) tetrafluoroethylene
(TFE), about 2 to about 3 mol % perfluoro (propyl vinyl ether) (PPVE), and about
0.5 to about 3 mol % hexafluoropropylene (HFP). The invention also provides a fluorothermoplastic
composition comprising interpolymerized units derived from about 94 to about 97
mol % TFE, about 0.75 to about 3 mol % PPVE, and about 1.5 to about 3.5 mol % HFP.
These fluorothermoplastic compositions have a flex life that fits the equation:
log(flex life cycles)0.71+4.0*(MFI(-0.294)),
a method of making fluorothermoplastic compositions, a method of improving stress
crack resistance, and fluorothermoplastic articles.
