EXRAD® 180B is a high performance fluid blocking / anti-capillary wire built to handle the high temperature fluid environments in engines and transmissions. It is an irradiation cross-linked fluoropolymer with impressive properties. EXRAD 180B is extremely fluid resistant even at temperatures up to 150°C.  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 180B has a custom-engineered silicone blocked tin copper conductor to prevent moisture and fluids from wicking through the wiring system.

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 12,000 hours at 160°C and 24,000 hours at 150°C.  The end result is an automotive wire ideally suited in applications where heat protection, high temperature fluid resistance, fluid blocking, long life and less expensive wiring harness are required.
