THE EXTRUSION OF 'TEFLON' 6 TETRAFLUOROETHYLENE RESIN FOR WIRE INSULATION

Abstract

The purpose of the study of 'Teflon' 6 extrusion, sometimes referred to as paste extrusion, for insulating wire with 'Teflon' was to determine the effect of each of the operating variables in the quality of the wire insulation. The die design, guide tip clearance, and the oven temperatures were found to be the most critical variables. For optimum machine performance the ram displacement rate and the wire speed should be controlled as accurately as possible. The extrusion process in its present stage of development is a suitable means for the commercial production of wire insulated with 'Teflon'. It enables the use of the excellent properties of the 'Teflon' insulated wire in many commercial applications.
