FEP

Perfluoroethylene propylene, also known as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), is an insulating material with exceptionally good electrical, thermal, chemical and mechanical properties. These properties make it a popular material in various applications, particularly in electrical engineering and high-frequency technology.

The electrical properties of PTFE are remarkable as it has a very low dielectric constant, resulting in low attenuation and low signal distortion. This makes it ideal for high-frequency applications where minimal signal loss is required. In addition, PTFE is thermally stable and can withstand continuous temperatures of up to 205°C, making it suitable for use in high temperature environments. It retains its flexibility and performance even at extremely low temperatures down to minus 90°C.

In addition, PTFE is chemically resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for applications in aggressive environments. Its mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength and abrasion resistance, also contribute to its versatility.

Overall, the combination of these outstanding properties makes PTFE an extremely useful and versatile insulating material in a wide range of applications, from high-frequency cables to high-temperature and chemical applications.
