Dupont FEP 9495 Fluoropolymers FEP Virgin Pellet Powder Wire And Cable IN STOCK All Color

Dupont FEP 9495 is a melt-processible fluoroplastic resin available in pellet form, specifically designed for high-speed extrusion of thin coatings on small-gauge wires for twisted-pair constructions.

FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) resins come in pellet form and offer flexibility designed to enhance coatings, melt extrusions, and impregnation. They work with conventional melt-extrusion techniques and injection-, compression-, transfer-, and blow-molding processes.

A high melt strength and drawdown capacity facilitates the use of large dies and drawdown tooling to increase production rates. Using larger length-over-diameter extruder barrels provides enough residence time at high production rates to melt these high-temperature polymers. Reciprocating screw injection-molding machines are most effective. It's recommended that manufacturers use corrosion-resistant metals for any equipment that may contact molten resin.

The properties of FEP products make it the preferred solution for a host of industrial applications and processing techniques. As industrial manufacturing continues to thrive, the ongoing development of FEP fluoropolymers strengthen and reinforce the industry by:

• Increasing uptime
• Facilitating innovation

• Excellent chemical resistance and electrical properties
• High service temperatures up to 200°C (392°F)
• Unique flame resistance
• Best-in-class low-temperature toughness
• Available as coating, film, or dispersion
• Higher melt flow rate for higher extrusion speeds
• Improved adhesion to copper wire
• Low dissipation factor at high frequencies
• Significant plate-out resistance in melt extrusion
• Suitable as solid or foamed insulator

DuPont FEP 9495 is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, without additives, that meets the requirements of ASTM D 2116 type II. With a relatively high melt flow rate and excellent electrical properties, this resin provides the electrical and mechanical properties needed for low voltage applications.

FEP 9495 combines the processing ease of conventional thermoplastics with many properties similar to those of polytetrafluoroethylene. Properly processed products provide superior properties including chemical inertness, exceptional dielectric properties, heat resistance, toughness and flexibility, low coefficient of friction, non-stick characteristics, negligible moisture absorption, low flammability, performance at temperature extremes, and excellent weather resistance.
