Solvay Specialty Polymers Halar® 558 Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene Copolymer (ECTFE)

Halar® 558 fluoropolymer is a resin grade for foam extrusion applications, including primary insulations, coaxial cable cores, cross-webs, fire alarm cable, jackets, and foam tubing. Like other grades of Halar® resin, this grade of resin offers broad use temperature capability, from cryogenic temperatures to 150°C, and excellent chemical resistance to a wide variety of acids, bases and organic solvents. Cables incorporating Halar® 558 have met the fire performance requirements called out in NFPA 90a ("Standard for Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems"). To meet these requirements they must pass NFPA 262 Standard Method of Test for Flame Travel and Smoke of Wire and Cables.Features: Acid Resistant; Base Resistant; Good Chemical Resistance; Nucleated; Solvent ResistantUses: Cable Jacketing; Electronic Insulation; Foam; TubingAdditional Properties: Crosshead Temperature - 254 °C; Die Holder Temperature - 246 °C; Flange Temperature - 252 °C; Flange Temperature - 252 °C; Throat Temperature - 243 °CInformation provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
