Filled Grades Of PTFE
>>>
Inorganic fillers such as glass, carbon,
graphite, bronze are added to PTFE to improve its
mechanical and wear properties. All products
mentioned here are available in filled grades of
PTFE.
Glass-Filled PTFE
:
Enhanced load bearing and other mechanical
properties. Good chemical and electrical
properties. Resists oxidation and is good in
acids. Major Applications
: Seals, seal rings, valve
seats and valve plugs, bearings, bearing pads,
gaskets.
Carbon-Filled PTFE
:
Excellent load bearing, wear and frictional
properties under rubbing conditions and good
abrasion resistance. Among the best PTFE filler
for use in water. Chemical inertness permits use
in a wide variety of corrosive
environments. Major
Applications : Bearings,
seal rings, piston rings, valve plugs and
compressor rings, gaskets.
Graphite-Filled PTFE
:
Reduces initial wear and improved load
bearing and frictional performance. Especially
well suited to high load carrying applications and
high speed rubbing contact with soft
metals. Major Applications
: Piston and compressor
rings, slide and sleeve bearings, seal
rings.
Bronze-Filled PTFE
:
Improved thermal conductivity, hardness,
compressive strength and resistance to creep.
Enhanced dimensional stability under static load.
Frictional and wear properties suitable to wide
range of dynamic bearings and seals. Major Applications : Valve seats and valve plugs, bearings,
piston rings.
