• Provide good chemical resistance like that of machine oil
• Pass 3,000 hours aging test of finish goods
• Have low dielectric property - characteristic impedance of
transmission line: 100Ω, capacitance in water: around
102.8pf/m
• Provided excellent performance with low
dielectric constant to make the jacket layer
of signal cables have low capacitance loss
• Offered a solution by combining physical
and chemical foaming products in the
foaming layer to reduce the dielectric
constant further
• Maintained exceptional mechanical
properties under high temperatures

These grades cover dielectric constants from 2.65 to 12 and have a V0 or V1 UL94 rating.
They are available in black (RB) and sand (RS) colors.
H-series uses a different filler but is based on the same technology as the standard series.

DETERMINING COOLING TIME
Step 1 – Part Cooling Time
The first step is to calculate the cooling time of
the part itself . 2
• T
Melt
= Temperature of the molten plastics
• T
Coolant
= Thermolator temperature
• T
Eject
= Temperature the parts can eject
without deforming
• H = Thickness (Use thickest portion of part)
• α = Thermal diffusivity
Thermal diffusivity can be calculated using the
equation below
