APPLICATIONS:
1. Suitable for melt extrusion as a primary insulation and jacketing material for wire and cable applications: coaxial
cables for video security systems, electronic data cabling (LAN cables), down-hole cables, heating cables for making
floors warm at home and for heating chemical columns, heat trace cables maintaining constant temperature on piping
systems, heavy wire gauges, high temperature wires placed in back panel areas of electronic equipment (such as
computers and business machines), plenum cables for construction purposes, small-gauge wires of twisted-pair
construction (telephone and alarm systems), telecommunication cable jacketing
2. Extruded sheet, film and heat-shrinkable sleeving for applications as follows: gas sampling bags, film in solar
collector covers, roll covers in pulp and paper industry, sensor probe covers, electrical terminals insulation, linings
for chemical-processing tanks, hose protection, tubes for heat exchangers, medical tubing, wall-shrink tubes for
printer/copier roller protection, thick wall-shrink tubes for textile roller protection, capillary tubes for medical liquid
transfusion, tubes for pipage of all kinds of caustic and electronic liquids
3. Structural articles made by injection molding: fittings, valves
