Dupont FEP 9835 Fluoropolymers FEP Virgin Pellet Powder Wire And Cable IN STOCK All Color

Dupont FEP 9835 Fluoropolymers FEP Virgin Pellet Powder for wire and cable applications. Available in stock in all colors.

FEP Resin products offer flexibility and are designed to enhance coatings, melt extrusions, and impregnation. These fluorinated ethylene propylene resins come in pellet form and 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, strengthening the industry by:

• Increasing uptime
• Facilitating innovation

DuPont FEP 9835 is a melt-processible fluoroplastic resin available in pellet form. It is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, without additives, that meets ASTM D 2116 type II requirements.

With a relatively high melt flow rate and excellent electrical properties, FEP 9835 has been specifically designed for high-speed extrusion of thin coatings on small-gauge wires for twisted-pair constructions. This resin provides the electrical and mechanical properties needed for low voltage applications.

FEP 9835 has a higher melt flow rate than most other fluoroplastic resins, permitting higher extrusion speeds and easier processing, making it a cost-effective alternative for producing thin-wall extrusions.

Key characteristics include improved adhesion to copper wire, low dissipation factor at high frequencies, and significant plate-out resistance in melt extrusion. It is suitable as a solid insulator and as a foamed insulator when used with an appropriate nucleant in a nitrogen gas injection process.

FEP 9835 is used when traditional extrusion and molding processes are required for producing products with the superior properties of a fluoroplastic resin. Compared to other thermoplastics, the high melt strength and thermal stability can be used to improve processing rates.

Compared with other fluoroplastics, creep resistance at high service temperatures provides a superior balance and level of end-use properties. FEP 9835 combines the processing ease of conventional thermoplastics with many properties similar to 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.

In flame situations, products resist ignition and do not promote flame spread. When ignited by flame from other sources, their heat contribution is very small and added at a slow rate with very little smoke.
