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 & Applications
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.

ASFX200-R incorporates a modified fluoropolymer crosslinking system, enhancing molecular chain stability. This makes it ideal for long-duration missions or spacecraft interior harnesses exposed to cosmic radiation.
XETFE ASFX200-D Polymer Material
| Apparence | Densité | Standard | Résistance à la traction | Rigidité diélectrique | Résistivité volumique | Continuous Operating Temp. |
| Translucent glossy pellets | 1.73g/cm³ | GJB 773B、SAE 22759 | 38MPa | 21kV/mm | 1×10¹⁶Ω·cm | -75 ~ +200℃ |
Application:
Used in high-density wiring systems, lightweight harness assemblies, and data transmission cables within aerospace equipment.
Features:
Excellent processability and thin-wall extrusion capability
High flexibility and crack resistance at low temperatures (down to -75°C)
Consistent dielectric strength in compact cable designs
For designers prioritizing lightweight, space-saving wire solutions, ASFX200-D delivers reliable performance without increasing cable diameter, making it ideal for modern aircraft and drones.
XETFE ASFX200C-Y Polymer Material
| Apparence | Densité | Standard | Résistance à la traction | UV Aging Resistance | Résistivité volumique | Continuous Operating Temp. | Flammability |
| Transparent or colored granules (customizable) | 1.76g/cm³ | GJB 773B、SAE 22759 | 39MPa | ≥ 1000h | 1×10¹⁶Ω·cm | -65 ~ +200 | UL94 V-0 |
Application:
Suited for special color-coded insulation and outer jacket materials in aerospace cables.
Often used for visual identification, bundled harness systems, and military wiring.
Features:
Uniform color dispersion with high UV and weather resistance
Flame-retardant and halogen-free
Maintains gloss and flexibility after long-term exposure to sunlight and ozone
This grade allows color masterbatch adjustment according to client specifications. The compound maintains thermal and electrical properties even after pigment incorporation—ideal for multi-core cable production lines that require color differentiation.
