EXRAD® 180 is a high performance engine and transmission wire built to handle the increasingly brutal environment under the hood and in automatic transmissions. It is an irradiation cross-linked fluoropolymer with impressive properties. EXRAD 180 is extremely fluid resistant even at high temperatures. It significantly reduces wire and routing headaches because it is more heat resistant and tough than TXL. It is an excellent, cost effective replacement for TFE, FEP or Tefzel insulated wire. EXRAD is rated at 180°C, but it survives temperatures to 270°C and higher for short periods of time. It is safer in overload conditions, because it will not melt.

EXRAD 180 creates opportunities to eliminate unnecessary and expensive convolute tubing, tapes and heat shields that protect inferior wire systems. Given today’s longer warranties, you need a wire that will last longer than ever before. New standards are now requiring 10,000 hour heat age test. EXRAD has a life expectancy over 10,000 hours at 150°C.

EXRAD process very well on automated high speed cut and strip equipment. The end result is an automotive wire ideally suited in applications where heat protection, high temperature fluid resistance, long life and less expensive wiring harness are required
