Mono-Oriented Polyolefin Film
Description
Cablerite is an oriented polyolefin film used in the cable industry. Cablerite is designed to provide a binder in communication cable and is applied to the cable prior to cable jacketing. A tight wind with a spring action in the film provides a uniform bundled cable.
Features
- High MD tensile
- Better forming than polyester
- Reduces polyester cross tear
- Impervious to moisture
- High dielectric per mil
- Can be easily printed
Applications
- Good Dielectric properties
- Cable wrap
- ID Tape
- Bundling
