Powertrain
Fluoropolymer coated wires and cables are used in automotive powertrain systems, attached to transmissions and motors. In the harsh, under-hood operating environment insulation, high temperature characteristics, and excellent oil resistance are key. Additionally, with the shift to electrification, excellent dielectric properties are also necessary.

Daikin Solutions
When used as a wire cover material in transmission systems, Daikin’s Fluoropolymer NEOFLON FEP NP-Series and NEOFLON ETFE EP-Series have excellent heat resistance and excellent dielectric properties, low dielectric constant, and a low dielectric tangent.
Coating material for motor windings
Required characteristics
- Dielectric properties
- Heat resistance
- Oil resistance
- Electric insulation
Daikin Solutions
Higher voltage, smaller next generation drive motors for electric vehicles are under development. Motor winding coating materials must have not only excellent dielectric properties such as a low dielectric constant and a low dielectric tangent, but also exhibit heat resistance, oil resistance, and high dielectric breakdown voltage. Fluoropolymer paint and coating materials meet these demanding requirements.
