XETFE Material for Aerospace Application
ZMS XETFE cross-linked ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material is an advanced fluoropolymer specifically developed for aerospace, defense, and other systems. XETFE compound particles exhibit excellent high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, and mechanical stress resistance, providing stable electrical insulation and lightweight durability for your electrical systems.
Product Models & Aplicaciones
XETFE cables are primarily used in the aerospace, military, and shipbuilding industries for transmitting information and energy between electronic and electrical devices. Rated at 600V, with a long-term operating temperature range of -100°C to 200°C, they are one of the main cable types used in aerospace applications. These cables meet the requirements of the “GJB 773B—2015 General Specification for Fluoroplastics Insulated Wires and Cables for Aerospace Use” standard.
Our XETFE series includes four special models—ASFX200, ASFX200-R, ASFX200-D, and ASFX200C-Y—designed to address the diverse operational and environmental challenges in aerospace cable manufacturing.
