What parts can PTFE material be processed into?
Introduction of PTFE
PTFE is one of the most chemically inert materials known and has been used in many different applications and industries.
PTFE is an extremely versatile and excellent material with excellent chemical resistance, a wide range of temperatures, completely unaffected by ultraviolet light, excellent electrical insulation properties, flexibility, low friction and chemical inertness.
The performance of PTFE
With its unique structure, PTFE is one of the most valuable and flexible materials for engineering applications. It has the following properties:
Biologically inert
Combination of flexibility at low temperatures, thermal stability at high temperatures
Non-flammable
Chemical resistant - compatible with all conventional solvents, acids and bases
Excellent weathering resistance
Low dielectric constant, low loss factor
Excellent insulation properties
Low dynamic coefficient of friction
Non-stick, easy to clean
Wide operating temperature range: -80°C to 260°C
Various fillers are often used to enhance the properties of PTFE compared to pure PTFE. For example, filling with 15% or 25% glass fibers can improve wear resistance and part stability, improve creep strength and reduce deformation under load.PTFE resins do not flow in the molten state and therefore cannot be injection molded. The best molding method is molding and machining.
PTFE material processing parts types
1、PTFE corrugated parts
PTFE corrugated parts as a balance between the engineering components, widely used in the chemical industry, food and medical equipment field. Different geometries can be designed and manufactured with compression folding effects to achieve higher flexibility or compressive strength. External and internal pressures, number of runs and full compression/full tension length are key factors to consider when designing bellows.
2、PTFE ball valve seat
Seats and inserts are important parts in the valve industry as key components, and PTFE is often chosen as its raw material.PTFE provides low friction seats with excellent media compatibility. Filled grades are abrasion resistant and can withstand the seat loads of higher level valves.
3、PTFE O-Ring and Support Ring
PTFE O-rings are mainly used for static sealing of pipes, cylinders, bushings, valve stems, flanges and connections. Among other things, chemical and physical inertness as well as resistance to friction, temperature and aging are of key importance.
Back-up rings are not seals per se, but are used in conjunction with O-rings or other seals in high-pressure applications. The backup ring is mounted downstream of the seal groove, but can also be mounted on either side of the O-ring to provide a high-performance, double-acting seal.
4、PTFE Insulation
PTFE has excellent dielectric properties, especially at high radar and microwave frequencies, so PTFE is widely used as an insulating material.
PTFE can work in a wide temperature range of -80 ° C to +260 ° C. PTFE can withstand higher temperatures than many other materials. Therefore, compared with the poor mechanical properties of ordinary plastics, low melting point and other characteristics, PTFE has become more selective high-performance alternatives.
5、PTFE Seals
Choosing the right sealing material can make a difference. As a fluoropolymer specialist, the continuous research and development in the field of PTFE filled materials can provide good solutions for even the most demanding applications.
6、PTFE shaft sleeve
PTFE bushings are maintenance free solutions for heavy duty / medium speed applications. They are generally categorized into straight and flanged PTFE bushings. The advantages of these bushings include: maintenance-free operation, excellent friction performance, high operating temperature, fast sliding speeds, and low operating clearance.
7、PTFE laboratory supplies
The current challenges in chemical laboratories are complex and multifaceted. In addition to meeting all the requirements, the material must be pure, stable and safe.
The use of high-performance, uniform density PTFE materials, with excellent technical properties, such as chemical resistance, operating temperature up to 260 ° C. Extremely anti-adhesive, smooth surface and hydrophobic properties combined to ensure low cross-contamination and easy to clean.
