MYLAR® WC

Product Description

Mylar® WC films are general-purpose electrical grade films, similar to Mylar® EL. These clear to hazy films are tough and durable as a core wrap. They offer good dielectrics and good handling characteristics.

General Product Info

Mylar® Type WC films combine the tensile strength, dimensional stability, and dielectric strength needed for wire and cable applications.

Typical Applications

Mylar® WC films possess the characteristics required for wire and cable used in the telecommunications and power transmission fields.

Approvals
