PTFE Granular Molding Powder

Product Details

Everflon™ PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) granular fluoroplastics are ideal for compression molding a wide variety of components and shapes; such as rods, tubes and sheets. Products fabricated from genuine Everflon™ PTFE are unaffected by most chemicals and feature superior electrical, low friction and mechanical properties.

Products manufactured with genuine Everflon™ PTFE are rated for continuous service at 260°C (500°F).

Everflon™ PTFE granular fluoroplastic resins are considered non-melts and are generally converted to finished articles in a three step process. 1) The resin is compression molded into a shape form (rod, tube, sheet). 2) The shape, once removed from the mold, is then sintered above its melting point to form a solid PTFE billet. 3) The solid PTFE billet is then machined into the finished article.

Everflon™ PTFE granular fluoroplastics are also available in chemically modified grades. The modified Everflon™ materials deliver valuable additional capabilities while retaining the exceptional chemical, thermal, and low-friction properties of conventional Everflon™ PTFE fluoroplastic resins.

Specifically, Everflon™ granular fluoroplastics exhibit enhanced permeation resistance, a smoother less porous surface finish, improved bond strength and weldability, and improved dielectric breakdown strength.

Applications

Seals, valve seats, gaskets, tank lining, fluid handling components and other end use components requiring a high performance fluoroplastic material.
