The Chemistry Behind Aviation Cables
Meta Description: Explore the molecular properties of Teflon and Kevlar that make them ideal for aviation cable insulation and armoring.
Content Structure:
Teflon (PTFE) Insulation
Non-polar C-F bonds providing chemical inertness in jet fuel.
Comparative dielectric strength: 480 V/mil vs. PVC’s 300 V/mil.
Kevlar Strength Members
Aramid fiber’s 3,620 MPa tensile strength in control cables.
Emerging Alternatives
PEEK insulation for 300°C+ engine sensor cables.
