What are the Benefits and Applications of PTFE with Fillers
In industrial applications, every mechanical component has a purpose. And PTFE packing is a sealant used for industrial applications that need the performance and non-contaminating properties of the highly effective PTFE material. So, what exactly is a PTFE packing? In simple terms, packing materials made of PTFE or polytetrafluoroethylene are known as PTFE packings. These are sealants offering mechanical compression for complex applications across industries. You can find them being used extensively in industrial plants dealing with oxidising media or corrosive [...]
For fluid sealing, different kinds of packings are used. Graphite packings and PTFE Packings are popular sealants generally available in braided style. The biggest difference between both these packings is that graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon and PTFE is a synthetic material. Yarns go through multiple heat treatments to get the shape and structure of the desired characteristics of packings. Let’s understand PTFE vs Graphite Packings on the basis of the following aspects: Composition Graphite is an inorganic [...]
