Material Designation Filler Application

PTFE 528

None

Electrical insulating parts, moderately stressed precision molded parts for chemical and general machinery usage, e.g. Gaskets, Compensators.

PTFE 537

Glass Fibre

Used for higher pressure exposed gaskets, also for piston rings, bearings and chemically inert valve seals

PTFE 552

Bronze

This material has maximum pressure and wear resistance; It is used for bearings, piston seals, guides etc. In general machine construction, it has however, only limited resistance to chemicals.

PTFE 561

Carbon

Used for dynamic seals, bearings and valve seals; This material is pressure and abrasion resistant, is chemically inert and has good thermal conductivity.


Polytetrafluoro Ethylene

Referred to as P.T.F.E, is one of the most interesting synthetic plastic materials,
because of its outstanding properties.


PTFE Is resistant to almost all chemicals and exhibits absolutely no ageing,
PTFE Offers a thermal application range from -200 degrees C to + 260 degrees C.
PTFE Has excellent anti-stick properties
PTFE Has a very low coefficient of friction, of practically identical static and dynamic valves. There is no "Stick-slip" even when motions is super slow.
PTFE Is self lubricating. This means, stationary or seals in motion may under certain conditions operate without any lubricant.
PTFE Is physiologically neutral up to + 200 Degrees C,
PTFE Has superior electically insulating properties compared to all other synthetic plastic materials. These insulating valves remain constant over broad frequency ranges regardless of environmental conditions (Temperature, humidity).
