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 high dielectric properties, PTFE films are a perfect fit for coaxial cable and other insulation needs. High-quality PTFE film options are lightweight and mechanically robust. They minimize abrasion issues thanks to their easy slide, and low-friction properties and meet low-loss needs in high-frequency coaxial cables or high dielectric breakdown applications.
Products such as E7, E5, R128 and R129 provide low loss dielectric control, helping to ensure minimal signal attenuation in high-frequency coaxial cables.
- Jacketing: To protect cables from moisture, chemicals, mechanical issues, pinching, cutting, splitting or breaking, Norgard Extruded PTFE Films such as R128 or R129 are specially designed for demanding applications where tight tolerances, excellent dielectric strength, thermal and chemical resistance are a must.
- Insulation: Norgard solutions include fluoropolymer tapes and heat sealable polyimide — fluoropolymer composites engineered for the most demanding insulation utilized in aerospace, electronics, energy and industrial applications. These dielectric materials are crucial for maintaining performance in challenging environments.
- Wire bundle wrapping: Abrasion resistance and flexibility are vital for organized and durable wire bundles. Products such as R128 and R129 not only help improve ease of installation but they also prevent wear within complex cable assemblies.
- Laser markability: Laser mark ability is important for easy identification of wires. Our films are specially formulated for laser markability to avoid fading of markers.
With stability, high-temperature resistance and dielectric properties Norgard PTFE and FP Films are reliable solutions for insulation, jacketing, coaxial cables, and wire bundle wrapping across extreme conditions, meeting the safety and durability demands of wire and cable applications.
