ECTFE fibers

Fluoromelt FP-CC ECTFE, glass or carbon fiber filled LNP Engineering... 

Poly(ethylene-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene), ECTFE. Applications cable coverings, coverings, molded articles, packaging, printed networks, foils, fibers. 

Fibers made firom PVDF andperfluoroplastics such as PFA and FEP have been the subjects of a number of publications. Examples of methods for production and properties of these fibers have been reviewed in this section. Little information is available about fibers made from PVF, ETFE, or ECTFE. 

The exterior of foamed wire insulation can be coated with a solid layer (jacket) of ETFE or ECTFE for wires used in telecommunications and fiber optics. This arrangement allows the foamed perfluoro-polymer to provide good electrical properties while the skin layer supplies sufficient mechanical properties. A foamed FEP wire insulation (eore), with a thickness of 0.5 mm, was coatedl with 51 pm of an ETFE jacket it had a dielectric constant of 1.64 and dielectric breakdown strength of 26.6 kV/mm.
