FEP Resin High Speed Extrusion

Depending on the high melt index, FEP resin high speed extrusion is a popular processing technology, mainly used in the fields of wires and cables, pipes, and films.

FEP resin overview

 

Perfluoroethylene propylene (FEP) is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP). 

 

FEP resin overview

 

Compared with PTFE, FEP has trifluoromethyl groups introduced into its side chains, which is equivalent to replacing some fluorine atoms with trifluoromethyl groups. The introduction disrupts the crystallinity of the chain, reduces viscosity, and allows FEP can be processed through thermoplastic resin processing methods.

Characteristics

 

FEP resin high speed extrusion is particularly suitable for insulation materials for small-diameter conductors. The insulator made of FEP has stable dielectric properties, low transmission attenuation, low signal loss, and minimal delay difference. It also performs well in terms of cable lifespan, high-frequency signal processing capabilities, and resistance to external interference.
