Knowde Enhanced TDS

Identification & Functionality

Carrier: Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP),
Resin-based
Plastics & Elastomers Functions: Foaming Agent,
Nucleating Agent
Technologies: Plastics
Product Families: Plastics — Masterbatches
Additive Masterbatches
Plastics — Polymer Additives
Performance Additives,

Features & Benefits

Materials Features: Cost Effective,
High Flow,
Light Weight,
Low Dielectric Constant
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

Markets: Electrical & Electronics
Applications: Electrical & Electronics — Wire & Cable
Data Communication Cables
Plastics & Elastomers End Uses: Cables,
Coaxial Cable Insulation
Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods: Gas Assisted Injection Molding,
Injection Molding
Use Level: 8-10%
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.

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.
