Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

It preserves the chemical and electrical properties from the temperature range of -180ºC to 260ºC. It is non-flammable. In the electrical and electronic industries it has a very wide field of application due to its exceptional electrical and dielectric properties, which remain constant within a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. It is a self-lubricating material that can be further improved by adding fillers such as graphite, bronze, stainless steel, fiberglass, etc. Its tensile strength is moderate. It is flexible, but not elastic (the smaller the section, the greater the flexibility and vice versa).
