CyclAFlor® Clear – The Transparent Fluoropolymer and CYTOP® Alternative for Precision Applications
CyclAFlor Clear is a next-generation transparent fluoropolymer designed to deliver the optical clarity, chemical resistance, and processing flexibility needed in today’s most demanding applications. Developed as a CYTOP® alternative, it matches or exceeds the performance of that well-known amorphous fluoropolymer, with additional options for tailored properties.
Engineered for use in semiconductor, optics, and photonics applications, Clear maintains exceptional transparency from deep ultraviolet (DUV) through near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths while providing excellent electrical insulation, a low refractive index, and chemical and thermal stability.
Ideal Applications
- Dielectric coatings
- High-bandwidth, low-attenuation optical and sensing fibers
- Optical waveguides and interposers
- Semiconductor pellicles
- Water- and oil-repellent coatings
- Chemically-resistant coatings
Why choose CyclAFlor Clear?
- Transparent from DUV to NIR with minimal light loss
- Resistant to UV degradation and environmental aging
- Low refractive index polymer for advanced optical designs
- Low dielectric constant material for high-speed electronics
- Chemically inert, solvent- and corrosion-proof
- Water and oil repellent
- Stable at elevated temperatures
- Processable via solution coating methods for thin, uniform films
While our standard composition is virtually identical to AGC CYTOP®, we can custom-engineer variants to enhance specific properties for your application.
