Characteristics of Composite PTFE

PTFE Material characteristics
Other materials can also be added to PTFE for enhancing different characteristics, which elevates the mechanical property, wear-resistance, chemical property, compression resistance, thermal conductivity, temperature tolerance and hardness substantially. Therefore, PTFE materials cover a wide range of applications.
Additives Additives ratio Characteristics Applications
Glass Fiber 15%、20%、25% 1.Improve the wear-resistance of pure PTFE and increase lower friction coefficient for lower PTFE.
2.Increase compressive strength, wear-resistance, and low gas permeability according to additives ratio.
Designed for robust performance in strong acidic/basic environments, offering enhanced seal pressure and wear resistance. Typical applications include mechanical shafts, ball valve sealing gaskets, bearing washers, and bushings.
Carbon 25% 1.Increase chemical property.
2.Improve the PTFE expansion coefficient.
3.Provide better thermal conductivity, high friction, and resistance against greater pressure for PTFE.
These products are engineered for demanding conditions involving high temperature and loading, effectively preventing PTFE cracking under pressure and thermal stress. Typical applications include piston rings, dynamic seals, and components for dry-style pneumatic equipment.
Graphite 15% 1.Provides optimal thermal and electric conductivity for PTFE.
2.Reduce friction coefficient on PTFE further, as well as lowering permeability and improving the coefficient in thermal expansion.
3.Better drug resistance than bronze additives.
Functions as a gaseous seal lubricant and is suitable for electrostatic-resistant lining and bearing applications.
Bronze 40%、60% 1.High hardness.
2.Extremely well compressive strength and wear-resistance, but vulnerable to plastic deformation.
3.Better thermal conductivity due to the metal property, but poorer drug and chemical resistance.
Designed for use in demanding applications subject to high stress, including structural components like bridge supports. Furthermore, this element finds utility in bearing accessories.
MoS2 5% 1.Enhance the electrical property of PTFE, effectively increase the hardness and lubrication to reduce friction.
2.Generally, other additives (commonly as glass fiber) will be added to PTFE for increasing the wear-resistance, tensile strength, and elongation.
The element is often applied in part with well self-lubrication.
PI 15% 1.Low friction coefficient, wear-resistance.
2.Resistant to chemical corrosion.
3.Greater tensile strength.
4.High thermal stability.
This material's superior workability, derived from its low wear rate and lack of lubrication requirement, optimizes it for friction and wear-resistant conditions, enhancing component longevity. Typical uses involve bearings and seal rings.
Stainless steel 50% 1.In addition to the high compressive strength of PTFE, the properties of stainless steel allow greater thermal conductivity.
2.Excellent strength and stability under extreme loading and high temperature, which still maintains the low friction coefficient of PTFE.
3.Lower plastic deformation comparing to bronze additives.
This element is suitable for use in seals or hot steam ball valve seats operating at low speeds or in stationary conditions. It is not recommended for applications involving exposure to radiation.
PEEK 20% 1.Increase of hardness and high compressive strength.
2.For high temperatures in particular, the element can reduce instability of PTFE sizes when experiencing great temperature differences.
Suitable for applications involving seals subjected to high pressure, significant temperature variations, and high-speed rotation.
TFM 100% 1.Greater strength and better wear resistance comparing to general PTFE.
2.Preserving chemical and electrical characteristics of general PTFE at the same time.
This offers excellent wear resistance, low friction, and chemical stability. It is ideal for applications such as piston rings, dynamic seals, and dry pneumatic components, as well as spring-energized seals, valve seats, and gaskets used in demanding environments.
ETFE 100% 1.The element contains the best mechanical strength and radiation resistance among Florine resins.
2.Identical characteristics of heat tolerance, chemical resistance, and electrical properties with other Florine resins.
3.Well impact resistance.
4.Excellent crack resistance under high pressure.
This durable material maintains high impact resistance and mechanical strength at temperatures up to 177℃. It offers chemical, electrical, and weather resistance similar to fully fluorinated polymers and is used in pump components and chemical processing equipment.
