A composition comprises a blend of (a) a first crystalline fluoroplastic which is an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, in an amount 20 and 70 weight %; (b) a second crystalline fluroplastic which is a terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride, in an amount between 25 and 70 weight %; and (c) a fluorinated thermoplastic elastomer which is a block copolymer having at least one elastomeric segment comprising tetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride, and hexafluoropropylene repear units in a mole ratio 45-90:5-50:0-35 and at least one nonelastomeric segment comprising tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene repeat units, in an amount between 5 and 25 weight %. The fluorinated thermoplastic elastomer acts as a compatibilizer for the two fluoroplastics. The composition exhibits improved flexibility, tensile strengh, and/or elongation.
