TEFLON [PTFE]

Teflon (PTFE) is a high molecular weight polymer. This is one of the most versatile plastic materials known and useful for a large range of products, for applications excluded to other materials. PTFE can be employed at any temperature from -150 ºC to +260 ºC.

Main Characteristics:

  • High heat resistance
  • High resistance to chemical agents and solvents
  • High anti-adhesiveness
  • High dielectric properties
  • Non-toxicity
  • Low coefficient of friction

Applications:

  • VALVE FITTINGS. Sealing rings and guides, dail seats. Packing / gaskets, plugs, bushes, impellers, washers, pistons, guide segments and sealing in general.
  • MECHANICAL APPLICATIONS. Self-lubricating bearing, piston rings, hydraulic seals, “O” rings, anti-extrusion rings, sliding shoes, expansion bellows, pressure compensators, friction washers, flow regulators, sputter devices, sandwich seals, roller, balls, packs, collars.
  • CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS. Conduits, siphon pipes, retainer rings, floe seals, closing taps, magnetic agitators, laboratory recipients, dilation compensators.
  • ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS. Connectors, coil separators, insulators, electronics in general, terminals, insulating layers, high voltage wiring, coaxial radar and TV cables.

PTFE REINFORCED FILLED GRADES
PTFE is a soft material that it can experience rate of wear when used in dynamic situation. Inert fillers could be added to increase resistance to wear, deformation and creep. It will improve stiffness, thermal conductivity, hardness and dimensional stability. However, the fillers decrease properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and dielectric values.

AVAILABLE FILLERS:
25% Glass Filled , 25% Carbon Filled, 60% Bronze Filled.
