Fluon+ Filled PTFE Compounds

Fluon⁺Filled PTFE Compounds are fluoropolymer compounds composed of pigments and fillers such as glass, carbon, graphite and metal powders (bronze and molybdenum disulfide). Adding molding powders to fluoropolymers enhances wear resistance, creep resistance, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity over virgin PTFE resins. Filled PTFE compounds also preserve several properties including low coefficient of friction, excellent chemical resistance and a wide service temperature range.

Glass-filled PTFE compounds are the most universally used. It can be utilized at service temperatures from -268 °C to +260 °C in chemical service ranging from liquid oxygen to fuming nitric acid, in severe wear pads for railway cars, and for self-lubricating compressor rings for non-aluminum cylinders.

PTFE fluoropolymer compound applications:

Bearings
Gaskets
V-rings/O-rings/Back-up rings
Hydraulic ring seals
Non-lubricated compressor rings
Valve seats and liners/swivel liners
Thrust washers
Lip seals
Standoff insulators
Feedthrough insulators

Pelletized compounds are produced in an environmentally friendly manner. They are easily processed in automatic molding equipment and are used primarily in automotive parts. Non-pelletized compounds are used in applications that demand the highest mechanical strength.
