PTFE Films for Wire and Cable Applications
Whether operating in high-temperature, corrosive, or mechanically challenging environments, Norgard® PTFE Films are specially designed to meet the demanding requirements of wire and cable applications, ensuring durability, reliability and safe performance.
Key applications include:
-
Coaxial cables: With high stability under extreme conditions as well as excellent dielectric properties, PTFE films are an ideal choice for coaxial cable and other insulation requirements. High-quality PTFE film options are lightweight and mechanically robust. They reduce abrasion issues due to their smooth surface and low-friction properties, and they meet low-loss requirements in high-frequency coaxial cables or high dielectric breakdown applications.
Products such as E7, E5, R128 and R129 provide low-loss dielectric control, ensuring minimal signal attenuation in high-frequency coaxial cables.
- Jacketing: To protect cables from moisture, chemicals, mechanical damage, pinching, cutting, splitting or breaking, Norgard Extruded PTFE Films such as R128 or R129 are specifically designed for demanding applications where tight tolerances, exceptional dielectric strength, and thermal and chemical resistance are essential.
- Insulation: Norgard solutions include fluoropolymer tapes and heat-sealable polyimide — fluoropolymer composites engineered for the most demanding insulation applications in aerospace, electronics, energy, and industrial sectors. These dielectric materials are critical for maintaining performance in challenging environments.
- Wire bundle wrapping: Abrasion resistance and flexibility are essential for organised and durable wire bundles. Products such as R128 and R129 not only enhance ease of installation but also prevent wear within complex cable assemblies.
- Laser markability: Laser markability is crucial for easy identification of wires. Our films are specially formulated for laser markability to prevent fading of markers.
With stability, high-temperature resistance, and dielectric properties, Norgard PTFE and FP Films are dependable solutions for insulation, jacketing, coaxial cables, and wire bundle wrapping in extreme conditions, meeting the safety and durability requirements of wire and cable applications.
