Typical Characteristics and Graphs of the Polypropylene (PP) Film
Polypropylene Film and Foil Types
Metallized Polypropylene Types
Typical Applications
For high frequency and high pulse applications e.g.- Sample and hold
- Timing
- LC-Filtering
- Oscillating circuits
- Audio equipment
- High frequency coupling and decoupling
- TV and monitor sets
- Lighting
- Power electronics
Film Properties
- Dielectric constant at 1kHz and +23°C: 2.2 negative as temperature rise
- Specific volume resistance in Ωcm at +23°C: 6 x 1018
- Dielectric strength (DC voltage) in V/µm at +23°C: 650
- Preferred temperature range in °C: -55 to +85
- Dielectric absorption in % at +23°C: 0.05 to 0.10
