A look at processing and coloring these high-performance materials
Fluoropolymers have high melting points and corresponding high processing temperatures and continuous use temperatures, depending on the specific product.
When melt processing fluoropolymers, accelerated thermal decomposition should be avoided by having accurate temperature control, and in some cases, using corrosion-resistant materials for processing equipment3.

Proprietary
composite formulations and technologies
prevent voids and produce high-quality cores
that withstand stringent electrical testing and
end-use manufacturing stresses such as thermal
overmolding and mechanical crimping.
Performance advantages:
• Non-conductive: formulations engineered
to optimize composite dielectric properties
• Lightweight: up to 80% lighter than porcelain,
reducing installation time and cost
• High strength: high tensile, compressive,
flexural and inter-laminar shear strength
to support various design configurations
and line loads
• Flexible: deflect and return to original shape
for load dampening to minimize damages
and outages
• Durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic
and glass, and UV and corrosion resistant
for long service life
