Polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE]

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. Its hydrophobic and lubricant surface, combined with chemical and corrosion resistance and high-temperature durability, makes PTFE a versatile material with a wide range of applications.

Grades

● Fluorosint® 500

  • Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air [260 °C continuously]
  • Moderate mechanical strength and stiffness
  • Good dimensional stability
  • Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
  • Low deformation under load [particularly Fluorosint® MT-01]
  • Low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance
  • Outstanding UV- and weather resistance
  • Physiologically inert [suitable for food contact per FDA regulations]
  • Inherent low flammability
  • Each Fluorosint® material is specifically designed for demanding bearing and sealing applications. Therefore, careful consideration must be given when selecting the material.
  • Ideal for high-performance bearings, bushings, and seals where elevated loads and minimal wear are required.
