Teflon® PTFE 6C X

DuPont ™ Teflon ® PTFE 6C X is a polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder resin used primarily for paste extrusion. Teflon ® PTFE 6C X offers the excellent combination of properties typical of the Teflon ® fluoropolymer resins:

• non-aging characteristics;

• chemical inertness to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents;

• exceptional dielectric properties, stable with frequency and temperature;

• toughness and flexibility;

• low coefficient of friction;

• non-stick characteristics;

• negligible moisture absorption;

• excellent weather resistance;

• service temperature up to 260°C (500°F);

• useful properties at -240°C (-400°F);

• moderate stiffness and high ultimate elongation.

Teflon ® PTFE 6C X is designed for processing at medium to high reduction ratios (250:1 to 2000:1). It is particularly suitable for production of wire coating, wire jacketing and tubing at fast sintering rates.

Teflon ® PTFE 6C X meets the requirements of ASTM D4895-10, Type I, Grade 2, Class C.

Typical Applications
Teflon ® PTFE 6C X is mainly used for wire and cable insulation and tube with thin wall tubing such as spaghetti tubing.
