Habia Code: K
Key Properties
-65oC to +200oC
Thin wall material
Highly flame retardant
Low smoke generation
Excellent for use in water, fuels, oils, acids and bases
Excellent dielectric properties
General Information
FEP is the softest of the fluorocarbon co-polymers offered by Habia Cable and is, beside an excellent insulation material, likely to be the most favourable fluoropolymer for cable jackets.
The material is excellent for use as a dielectric – it has got an excellent dielectric constant of 2.1, a high dielectric strength, excellent resistivity and an excellent dissipation factor of magnitude 0.0005. Its low dielectric constant is essentially constant with changing frequency or temperature.
FEP has excellent non-ageing characteristics and a broad useful temperature range from about -200oC to +200oC continuously.
Used as insulation FEP passes several severe flame tests as for instance the IEEE 383 and has also the UL 94 V-0 rating.
The chemical inertness of the material is excellent and is one of the most chemical resistant polymers.
