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
