KEL-F (TRADE NAME) ELASTOMER: A NEW MATERIAL FOR THE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY

Abstract

The paper summarizes the compounding and significant properties of KEL-F Elastomer as related to its potential application in the electrical industry. As a raw material it comes equipped with many excellent properties required of electrical insulation. These include: high tensile strength, extensibility, tear strength, abrasion resistance, thermal stability, extremely low water absorption, and resistance to oxidants, and a variety of chemicals. It is hoped that these characteristics will assist the electrical industry in the design of specialized insulation to be used in those applications where a high strength rubber must withstand heat and corrosive chemicals. Such applications immediately foreseen are insulated wire and cable, sheath stock, tapes, potting compounds, and electrical connectors, grommets, and seals.
