ETFE, FEP and PFA as Insulation and Jacket Material for Cables and Wires

ETFE - Ethylentetrafluorethylen

ETFE has got excellent mechanical characteristics, an elevated hardness and tensile strength are combined with chemical resistance and electric and thermal characteristics of other fluoro-plastics with especially high demands as for example on:
 

Outstanding features and advantages of ETFE-Cables:

  • high chemical and solvent resistance
  • cold and heat resistance
  • elevated tensile strength and pressure resistance
  • good electric and insulation characteristics with low dielectric values almost independent on frequency
  • operating temperature from approx. -90°C up to +135 °C

 

FEP - Fluorethylenpropylen

This material belongs to the fusible fluoroplastics and can be extruded. It has got a bigger friction coefficient and a lower permanent operating temperature than PTFE. FEP offers the following characteristics:

Outstanding features and advantages of FEP-Cables:

    • excellent temperature resistance
    • deep temperature flexibility
    • very good resistance against oils and chemicals
    • good electric insulating characteristics with almost frequency independent dielectric characteristics
    • operating temperature from approx. -90°C up to +180°C

     

    PFA - Perfluoralkoxy

    This fluoroplastic material has got a good chemical resistance, a broad application temperature range as well as a very good resistance against ageing and weather conditions. Furthermore, it shows a low friction resistance and a good electrical insulation with especially high demands as for example on:

    Outstanding features and advantages of PFA-Cables:

        • high demands on chemical and solvent resistance
        • high degree of resistance
        • excellent temperature resistance and deep temperature flexibility
        • good electrical insulation characteristics with low almost frequency independent dielectric characteristics
        • operating temperature from approx. -90°C up to +250°C (short term +260°C)
