Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Benefits
Foamed FEP products have a lower dielectric constant and a lower dissipation factor thus minimizing signal loss and enhancing high-speed data transmission of data cables. In addition, foamed products are lighter in weight compared to similar constructions using a solid wall and results in a reduction in FEP usage which leads to a cost savings.
Applications & Uses

- Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
- Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods
- Usage
These concentrates are added (approximately 8-10%) to natural FEP. This letdown level is appropriate for typical high void content applications. Maximum void content is dependent upon foam extrusion system, tooling designs, and concentrate level.
- End Uses
Colored injection molded parts, film, tubing, colored wire or jacket insulation where a pigmented appearance is required.

Storage & Handling
- Handling Precautions
- Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.
- Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
