| Because they offer mechanical strength and toughness together with resistance to heat and chemicals, DuPont™ Tefzel® fluoropolymer resins are widely used to make compact wire and cable constructions that provide long, reliable service in demanding environments. In addition, Tefzel® resins offer easy processing, high specific dielectric strength, and a low coefficient of friction. Tefzel® HT-2127 retains these traditional characteristics of Tefzel® resins while providing some new property advantages. The advantages offered by Tefzel® HT-2127 include greater flexibility, improved retention of tensile properties at elevated temperatures, reduced flammability, and long-term service life at potentially higher temperatures compared to other Tefzel® resins. Tefzel® HT-2127 will have the same temperature rating (150°C [302°F]) as other Tefzel® resins. Applications The relatively low flexural modulus of Tefzel® HT-2127 means that compared with Tefzel® 200, it can be used as a thicker wall insulation on a given conductor for greater durability while retaining the same degree of flexibility. It can also be used in large diameter constructions to reduce stiffness. Wire insulated with Tefzel® HT-2127 could find use in industries where its special performance attributes are needed. In electronic control assemblies, for example, increased flexibility may be an asset during manufacturing. Chemours was formed from former DuPont performance chemicals businesses, including DuPont Fluoroproducts, in 2015. |
