Teflon® FEP 6100 DuPont Fluoro Perfluoroethylene Propylene Copolymer

Product Description

DuPont™ Teflon FEP 6100 fluoropolymer resin is a melt-processable fluoropolymer resin specifically designed for high-speed extrusion of thin coatings on small-gauge wires for twisted-pair constructions.

As shown in Table 1, this resin provides the electrical and mechanical properties needed for lowvoltage applications. In addition, Teflon® FEP 6100 has a higher melt flow rate than most other fluoropolymer resins. This permits higher extrusion speeds and easier processing, making Teflon® FEP 6100 a cost-effective alternative for producing thin-wall extrusions.

Teflon® FEP 6100 possesses a balance of processing and performance properties, which makes it an excellent choice for many applications. Like Teflon® fluoropolymer resins, Teflon® FEP 6100 offers an excellent combination of properties:
low flammability
-exceptional dielectric properties
-heat resistance
-toughness
-flexibility
-low coefficient of friction
-nonstick characteristics
-negligible moisture absorption
-chemical inertness
-performance at temperature extremes
-weather resistance
