Solvay Specialty Polymers Hyflon® MFA® 1041 Perfluoropolymer

Hyflon® MFA 1041 is a high extrusion speed resin specifically designed for insulation for plenum-rated LAN cables. MFA 1041 delivers superior electrical performance in addition to its excellent fire characteristics, physical properties, and processing. The unique chemical structure of MFA provides the superior properties necessary for the increasingly demanding telecommunications industry. Cables manufactured with MFA 1041 have met the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Category 6 standard. The extremely low attenuation of MFA 1041 makes it a logical choice for the developing Augmented Category 6 standard. Cables made from MFA 1041 have met the fire performance requirements called out in NFPA 90a ("Standard for Air- Conditioning and Ventilating Systems"). Hyflon® MFA 1041 is not recommended for heavy wall applications where significant thermal stress crack resistance is required.Features: Flame Retardant; Good Electrical PropertiesUses: Telecommunications; Tubing; Wire & Cable ApplicationsAdditional Properties: Crosshead Temperature - 390 to 410 °C; Flange Temperature - 390 to 400 °C; Flex Life - ASTM D2176 6.0E+2 to 1.0E+3 Cycles; Heat of Fusion - DSC 18.0 to 26.0 J/g; Potential Heat - NFPA 259 970 J/g; Wire Preheat - 100 to 130 °CInformation provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
