What is X-ETFE?
ETFE is a distinctive type of cable insulation used mostly in aircraft and electronic transportation applications.Generally, a lightweight, flame-resistant cable that is also mechanically durable is needed for these applications. Modified radiation cross-linked ETFE polymer?X-ETFE?is used to insulate wire. X-ETFE(also called XL-ETFE)?is the acronym for Cross-Linked Extruded Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene. It is wire insulation?used mainly?in avionic and airframe applications?which demand mechanically tough and flame retardant cable. In addition, XL-ETFE, a type of thermoset insulation, provides excellent fluid, oil, and moisture resistance. Cross-linking also creates increased stability at higher temperatures.
What is the property of X-ETFE?
Higher mechanical strength and toughness than ETFE; resistant to cold flow and abrasion; resistant to radiation;?incredibly lightweight and compact;chemical resistant;?mechanically tough composition to endure any circumstances;heat resistance
What is the specification of X-ETFE?
What is the main application?
At these higher temperatures, cross-linking offers more stability than its conventional counterpart.?It is suitable for extrusive molding of cable classing material with high requirements for fluidity,strength and heat resistance. They are widely used in aircraft,avionics,military electronics,satellites.
