EXRAD®

EXRAD® XLE-200 AWG Fluid Blocking Powertrain

EXRAD® XLE-200 is a very high performance fluid blocking wire built to handle the high temperature fluid environments in engines and transmissions. It is an irradiation cross-linked fluoroelastomer with impressive properties including great flexibility.

Overview

EXRAD® XLE-200 is a very high performance fluid blocking wire built to handle the high temperature fluid environments in engines and transmissions. It is an irradiation cross-linked fluoroelastomer with impressive properties including great flexibility. EXRAD XLE-200 is extremely fluid resistant even at temperatures up to 150°C.  EXRAD XLE-200 is rated at 200°C, but it survives temperatures to 275°C and higher for short periods of time. It is safer in overload conditions, because it will not melt. EXRAD XLE-200 has a custom-engineered silicone blocked conductor to prevent moisture and other fluids to wick 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 tests.  EXRAD XLE-200 has an expected life of 96,000 hours at 150°C.

EXRAD XLE-200 processes 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, fluid blocking, long life and high performing wiring harness are required.
