Additional Information
What is Kynar?
Kynar is the trademarked name for PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), a resin that can be used to protect metal materials such as wire from numerous hazards.
What is ETFE?
ETFE, also known under the brand name Tefzel, is a fluorine-based plastic called Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene. Similar to Kynar/PVDF, Tefzel/ETFE is another material that can be used as wire insulation to protect wires from various corrosive hazards.
What is Kynar and ETFE wrapped wire used for?
UL 1422 Kynar Wrap and UL 1423 Kynar Wrap can be used as lead wires for computers and business machines that will not sustain mechanical damage. MIL-W-81822/3 Kynar Wire is also approved for military, government, or commercial use.
ETFE wrap from Allied Wire can be used as appliance wire and back panel wrapping. It includes UL 1508 ETFE Wire Wrap, UL 1516 Wrap, UL 1523 ETFE Wrap, and MIL-W-81822/13.
