Aviation Hook-up Cables Insulation and Sheathing

Aircraft installation cables, as mediums for power transmission, connect various electronic components and are distributed throughout different parts of the aircraft. Safety incidents such as fires and electrical arcing can easily spread along these cables. Moreover, the operational conditions of an aircraft are unique, needing to withstand frequent changes in environmental temperature and air pressure. Therefore, there are stringent requirements for the selection of insulation and sheathing materials for the cables, primarily focusing on fire resistance, high and low-temperature endurance, and resistance to electric arc puncture.

Key Factors in Solution/Material Selection

High Dielectric Strength
To prevent aircraft accidents caused by electrical arc puncture.
Fire Resistance and Flame Retardancy
To prevent the spread of fire along transmission routes.
Extreme Temperature Resistance
To cope with frequent changes in environmental temperature during high-altitude flight.
Solution Introduction

Futureway® Unsintered Full-density PTFE Film Wrapping Tape is specifically designed for insulation and sheathing applications in aviation installation cables. Compared to traditional extrusion processes, wrapping with this tape allows cables to be thinner and lighter, thus reducing spatial and weight constraints for the aircraft. Full-density PTFE Film Wrapping Tape boasts excellent high-temperature performance and flame retardant properties, with a maximum operating temperature of up to 260℃ and a critical oxygen index over 95%, meaning it only burns in nearly pure oxygen conditions. Additionally, its dielectric strength exceeds 50kV/mm, effectively preventing aircraft accidents caused by electrical arcing. Not only that, but it also features a low friction coefficient and high flexibility, which can handle friction and bending between cables during use. The customizable size of Futureway® Unsintered Full-density PTFE Film Wrapping Tape makes it suitable for various specifications of aviation installation cables. Moreover, it offers additional functionalities like color customization and laser marking.
