- Plenum rated cable applications
- Low shrinkback
- Low attenuation
- Flexibilty
- Cold temperature impact
- Ease of processing
- Cable densification
- Elevated continuous use temp (150°C)
-
Excellent chemical resistance
Specified grades:
- Kynar Flex® 3030-10
- Kynar Flex® 3030-15 (plenum rated)
Kynar Flex® PVDF Highlight: 2023 Super Bowl
Behind large‑scale, data‑intensive events like the 2023 Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium are miles of wire and cable delivering uninterrupted power and connectivity. Arkema’s Kynar® PVDF resins have supported demanding wire and cable applications for decades, and recent innovation has expanded their use into indoor and outdoor fiber optic cable jacketing. With the development of Kynar Flex® 3030, Arkema achieved the balance of high flexibility, high temperature resistance, low shrinkage, and smoke and flame performance required by the fiber optic cable industry, enabling reliable power and data transmission for next‑generation networks.
