A Flouronated Polymer exibiting extreme chemical resistance and a wide operating temperature range combined with excellent dialitic performance, surface properties of low friction and anti adhesion. These characteristics enable it to operate successfully in demanding applications and in some cases extreme conditions unlikely to be met by any other material.
The friction coefficient is unusually low with typical values against polished steel of about 0.06 and this value reduces as pressure is increased. The anti adhesive properties combined with very low moisture absorption make PTFE ideal for use as a release surface. PTFE resins can be reinforced with a variety of inorganic materials to obtain specific property improvements.
GL25 (25% GLASS) – Improved wear and creep resistance
GL15 & 40 – Adjusted quantity of filler
BM55 – bronze and molybddenum filling for low wear rate.
B60 – bronze filling for high thermal conductivity leading to excellant bearing performance at high speeds.
C25 – carbon filling for low coefficient of friction
