Low Density PTFE Tape

Ideal for microwave and coaxial cable applications
Low density (LD) PTFE tape is made from an expanded, pure PTFE designed to achieve low dielectric constant, crush resistance, fast elastic recovery, and high tensile strength for microwave and coaxial cable applications. Besides excellent electrical, thermal and chemical properties, Low density PTFE tape provides reduced signal loss in high performance cables when handling microwave energy in the high frequency (GHz) range.
Low density PTFE tape is made through a “stretching” process that results in the product being filled with air, which makes it an excellent insulator for wire and cable where high signal speeds are required. This process also reduces its weight, adding value to aerospace and satellite applications.
