TEX FEP Duplex

FEP is an extruded fluoropolymer suitable for use up to 400 F (200C), and is flame retardant and non-propagating in fire conditions. Conductors are extruded with FEP and laid parallel. FEP jacket is then extruded over the two singles creating a duplex construction. The product is moisture/chemical resistant and provides a low friction when pulled. The smooth extruded finish is ideal for food industry cleaning requirements. This construction also provides all the benefits of FEP and its economical price point for higher temperature applications.
