                                                         PHILAFIN™ Provides Superior:
 
 
  • Oil Resistance

  • Low Temp Resistance

  • Heat Aging

  • Ozone Resistance

 

  • Chemical Resistance

  • Abrasion Resistance

  • Mechanical Strength

  • Lighter Weight

  • LOWER TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY  

  • GREATER OZONE RESISTANCE

PHILAFIN™ rubber flexible cord jackets resist cracking to
lower temperatures than either thermoset Neoprene or
thermoset rubber. The following are results of bend tests:

Ozone as generated around most electrical equipment can
cause cracking in most conventional rubbers. PHILAFIN™
rubber has excellent resistance to cracking caused by ozone.
Below are results of bent loop ozone aging tests of flexible
cord jackets.

  • SUPERIOR HEAT AGING

  • TOUGHER ABRASION RESISTANCE

PHILAFIN™ rubber resists cracking and brittleness caused
by heat far better than Neoprene or rubber. Comparative
heat aging at 250°F. is shown.

Shown below are comparative grinding wheel type abrasion
test results on flexible cord jackets. Again, PHILAFIN™
rubber outperforms Neoprene and rubber flexible cord
jackets.
