PTFE Filament

PTFE filament description

PTFE filament characteristics

1. High temperature resistance: the working temperature can reach 250℃
2. Low temperature resistance: when the temperature drops to -195°C, it can still maintain 5% elongation
3. Corrosion resistance: resistant to most chemicals, good chemical inertness
4. Weather resistance: good aging resistance
5. High lubrication: the coefficient of friction is very low
6. Acid and alkali resistance: insoluble in strong acid and alkali and organic solvents
7. Oxidation resistance: corrosion resistance to strong oxidants
8. Non-toxic: physiologically inert

PTFE filament application

1. Non-adhesive + self-sealing: gasket.
2. Low coefficients of friction + thermal resistance: self-lubricated pieces and bearings for sports, composites.
3. Chemically inert: filtration in hostile environments, composites ,Weave into a filter cloth for filtering chemicals
4. Improvement of the lifespan of a textile against friction and abrasion: PPE, ropes, belts.
5. Excellent electrical insulation: aeronautics.
6. UV insensitive: building, UV radiation treatment, aerospace.
7. Dental floss
