For High/Low Temperatures and Abusive Environments
- -200°C to +260° C
- Teflon® FEP
- Teflon® PFA
- Tefzel® ETFE
- Halar® ECTFE
When your application requires high reliability, such as for aerospace, medical, or corrosive environments, specify Northwire fluoropolymer insulations.
When your cable design needs to be miniaturized, yet still carry data at higher speeds with higher reliability than ordinary insulated cables, Northwire fluoropolymer insulations are your best design options.
Northwire fluoropolymers offer these outstanding performance characteristics:
- Temperatures from -80°C to + 250°C
- Resistance to flame, acids, solvents, chemicals
- Miniaturization due to superior insulation characteristics
- High impact strength and abrasion resistance
- Customization, such as special colors, constructions, high speed data capability, special electrical properties
Customization is our specialty. Ask about our "Hat-Trick"
- Prototyping program requiring no minimum quantities. Ask how we can finance your prototype costs.
- Guaranteed performance
- Fast delivery
