PTFE / TEFLON

PTFE CLOTH, PTFE GASKET, PTFE ROD, PTFE MOULD SHEET, PTFE TUBING

GENERAL PROPERTIES :

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PTFE / TEFLON ARE LOW COMPARED TO OTHER PLASTICS, BUT ITS PROPERTIES REMAIN AT A USEFUL LEVEL OVER A WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF OF -100°F TO +400°F (-73°C TO 204°C). MECHANICAL PROPERTIES ARE OFTEN ENHANCED BY ADDING FILLERS (SEE PARAGRAPH BELOW). IT HAS EXCELLENT THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL INSULATION PROPERTIES AND A LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION. PTFE IS VERY DENSE AND CANNOT BE MELT PROCESSED -- IT MUST BE COMPRESSED AND SINTERED TO FORM USEFUL SHAPES.

FILLED GRADES :

PTFE'S MECHANICAL PROPERTIES CAN BE ENHANCED BY ADDING FILLERS SUCH AS GLASS FIBERS, CARBON, GRAPHITE, MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE, AND BRONZE. GENERALLY, FILLED PTFE'S MAINTAIN THEIR EXCELLENT CHEMICAL AND HIGH TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS, WHILE FILLERS IMPROVE MECHANICAL STRENGTH, STABILITY, AND WEAR RESISTANCE. THE

PROPERTIES OF 25% GLASS-FILLED AND 25% CARBON-FILLED PTFE GRADES ARE SHOWN BELOW FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES.

THERE ARE LITERALLY DOZENS OF DIFFERENT FILLED PTFE PRODUCTS AND GRADES -- TOO MANY TO BE LISTED HERE.
