Abstract
Abstract A fluorocarbon composite is provided for use as liners and particularly for use as wire insulation and in extruded tubing for push-pull cable assemblies. The composite has excellent anti-friction and abrasion-resistant properties and can be utilized in environments requiring operation over a wide range of temperatures and load conditions, including high temperature applications. The composition comprises a mixture of a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and a polymer of arylene sulfide, which mixture may also include a filler.
