August 17, 2023 AGC to Feature Advanced Wire & Cable Materials at IWCS

Fluon+™ enhanced materials and compounds improve wire and cable performance properties, such as durability, flexibility and heat resistance.

EXTON, Pa. – Fluon+™ enhanced materials and compounds improve performance properties of wire and cable, such as durability, flexibility and heat resistance, in demanding applications. AGC Chemicals will feature these materials at the 2023 IWCS Supplier Exhibition, booth 116, September 17–18 in Orlando.

Fluon+ materials use advanced fillers, pigment systems and additives to enhance the performance of AGC’s Fluon fluoropolymer resins. These materials add performance characteristics such as toughness; lubricity; creep, wear and chemical resistance; and thermal and electrical conductivity. Products like wire and cable jackets, insulated coatings, fuel hoses and multilayer film made with Fluon+ materials are used in a wide range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, resource recovery, electronics and semiconductor markets.

Fluon+ modified PEEK uses specialty fluoropolymers to improve its impact strength, wear resistance, flexibility and electrical insulating properties. Fluon+ modified PEEK retains mechanical properties at high temperatures up to 200 °C. It is ideal for wireline and cable insulations to better withstand repetitive use in harsh environments.

Also at the event, Mike Sanchez, technical service engineer Fluon+ melt processable compounds, will hold a Supplier Spotlight Presentation on New Solutions for THV Alternatives on Monday, September 18, focusing on Fluon+ flexible AR compounds, which are melt processable materials based on ETFE and a fluoropolymer. Fluon+ AR grades maintain many of the desirable properties of ETFE but in a much more flexible form.
