Fluoropolymers (FP) are a common choice for high performance wire and cable applications in many industries due to their ability to withstand high heat and corrosive environments.

Lightweight, strong and durable, with good heat, flame and chemical resistance

More LED Lighting Solutions Learn how to transform your LED lighting systems, from lenses and reflectors to heat sinks to housings.

The material features good impact strength, elevated heat deflection, corrosion resistance, and a broad modulus range from flexible to rigid.

Collaborative Custom Color Expertise – Enables manufacturers to offer realistic training experiences by creating custom-tailored skin tones; thermochromatic technology enables model to change color in response to heat or cold, simulating hypothermia, fever or burns; can also be used to design distinguishable looks to drive brand equity

Fluoropolymers such as FEP are capable of withstanding high heat and corrosive environments while also having outstanding dielectric properties and continuous service temperatures.

As a complement to PolyOne’s liquid Excelite CFA portfolio for extrusion, new Excelite IM CFAs are engineered for a wide range of injection molded polymers, including olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS, and high-heat materials.

Want to find a better way to manage heat under the hood or in lighting systems?

Our broad array of specialty polymer solutions can solve technical challenges, such as managing static electricity, transferring heat away from sensitive components or providing EMI/FRI shielding, and delivering the colors and haptic your consumers welcome. 

Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation.
