ETFE – Ethylenetetrafluoroethylene
ETFE has excellent mechanical properties, an elevated hardness and tensile strength combined with the chemical resistance and electrical and thermal properties of other fluoroplastics with particularly high requirements such as on:
– high chemical and solvent resistance
– cold and heat resistance increased tensile and compressive strengths
– good electrical and insulation properties with low dielectric values almost independent of frequency
– operating temperature from approx. -90°C up to +135°C
Exemplary applications for ETFE cables
ETFE: For high frequency, broadband and telecommunication technologies, coaxial and microwave technologies. High data rate along with precise information transfer, chemical industry, kiln construction, brickworks, heating devices, …
FEP – Fluoroethylene propylene
This material belongs to the meltable fluoroplastics and can be extruded. It has a higher coefficient of friction and a lower permanent operating temperature than PTFE. The FEP offers the following features:
– excellent temperature resistance
– deep temperature flexibility
– very good resistance to oils and chemicals
– good electrical insulation properties with almost frequency-independent dielectric properties
– operating temperature from approx. -90°C up to +180°C
Exemplary applications of FEP cables
FEP: for shipbuilding e.g. in the engine room of ships or as a connecting cable for engine control, high-frequency and broadband technology as well as telecommunication technology, coaxial and microwave technology. High data rate along with precise information transfer, chemical industry, furnace construction, brickworks, heating devices, …
PFA – Perfluoroalkoxy
This fluoroplastic material has good chemical resistance, a wide application temperature range and very good resistance to aging and weathering. In addition, it shows a low frictional resistance and a good electrical insulation with particularly high requirements such as for example:
– high demands on chemical and solvent resistance
– high degree of resistance
– excellent temperature resistance and deep temperature flexibility
– good electrical insulation properties with low almost frequency-independent dielectric properties
– operating temperature from approx. -90°C up to +250°C (short-term +260°C)
Examples of applications for PFA cables:
PFA: high frequency, broadband and telecommunication technologies, coaxial and microwave technologies. High data rate along with precise information transfer, chemical industry, kiln construction, brickworks, heating devices, …
Extreme harsh environments require highly resistant materials. These requirements are met by our ETFE, FEP or PFA cables. These cables can be used for a temperature range from -90°C up to +260°C. Moreover, our ETFE, FEP and/or PFA insulated cables are resistant to many chemical influences with high mechanical resistance at the same time. Possible applications include the chemical industry, furnace construction and telecommunications.
