EXRAD®

EXRAD® 180B ISO Class D Thin Wall BC Anti-Capillary Wire

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 extremely fluid resistant at temperatures up to 150°C

Overview

EXRAD® 180B is a high performance fluid blocking / anti-capillary wire built to handle the high temperature fluid environments in engines and transmissions.  EXRAD 180B is extremely fluid resistant at temperatures up to 150°C and meets the requirements of ISO 6722-1 150°C thin wall.  It is an irradiation cross-linked fluoropolymer with impressive properties at a lower price. EXRAD 180B has a custom-engineered silicone blocked bare copper conductor to prevent moisture and fluids from wicking through the wiring system.

EXRAD180B processes very well on automated high speed cut and strip equipment. The end result is an automotive anti-capillary wire ideally suited to applications where heat protection, long life and less expensive wiring harnesses are required.  ROHS and CE Compliant.
