| Product Description: Fluon® FEP Foam Concentrates contain a well dispersed nucleating agent that acts as a site for foaming during the gas injection extrusion process. AGC Chemicals Americas’ foam concentrates are based on DuPont FEP (Fluorinated ethylene propylene) and are supplied in cylindrical pellet form. These pellets are approximately 0.125” long by 0.080” diameter. Higher flow FEP Foam Concentrates based on FEP TE9494 can be used to manufacture thinner wall constructions such as LAN twisted pair cables. Lower flow FEP Foam Concentrates based on FEP 100 can be used to manufacture thicker wall constructions such as coaxial cable. Benefits: Foamed FEP products have a lower dielectric constant and a lower dissipation factor thus minimizing signal loss and enhancing high-speed data transmission of data cables. In addition, foamed products are lighter in weight compared to similar constructions using a solid wall and results in a reduction in FEP usage which leads to a cost savings.
