Do You Know the Benefits of Structured Expanded PTFE with Fillers?

What is Expanded PTFE? 100 percent pure PTFE is used to make expanded PTFE. Expanded PTFE is a sealing agent. It has a better creep resistance and cold flow. Hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and pipelines use it to seal.. Expanded PTFE is microporous and so air-permeable. It is a chemically resistant non-toxic material. The highest temperature it can function at is 260°C. The radial expansion and UV resistance of expanded PTFE are very good. What is Filled PTFE? PTFE is a widely [...]

What is Filled PTFE and What are its Advantages?

IntroductionPTFE stands for Polytetrafluroethylene. The other name for this non-stick material is Teflon. It can resist huge temperature changes as it is made of low friction material. PTFE has high density and is highly flexible. It is non-toxic as it is chemically unreactive and indissoluble. All these properties make PTFE apt for a wide range of applications but as it is highly flexible heavy loads can damage it. This issue can be resolved by adding fillers to the PTFE. The [...]
