EXRAD® 150UT AWG Powertrain TXL
EXRAD® 150 UT is a high performance 150°C powertrain wire which exceeds the requirements of SAE J-1128 125°C TXL. It is an irradiation cross-linked polyolefin with impressive properties. EXRAD 150UT is rated at 150°C, but it survives temperatures in excess of 240°C for short periods of time. It is safer in overload conditions because it will not melt.
EXRAD 150 UT creates opportunities to eliminate unnecessary and expensive convolute tubing, tapes and heat shields that protect inferior wire systems.
EXRAD150 UT processes extremely well on automated high-speed cut and strip equipment. The end result is an automotive wire ideally suited to applications where heat protection, long life and less expensive wiring harnesses are required.
