Reinforced Polytetrafluorethylene(PTFE) Fluorosint's unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to PTFE. This bonding results into a load carrying capability and thermal expansion rate not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. The chemical and temperature resistance inherent in PTFE are practically retained. Fluorosint Main Characteristics
We distinguish two different formulations: Fluorosint 500 (PTFE+mica)(ivory) Fluorosint 500 has nine times greater resistance to deformation under load than unfilled PTFE (tested according to ASTM D 621; stress of 14 MPa of 50°C). Its coefficient of linear thermal expansion approaches the expansion rate of aluminium and is 1/5 that of virgin PTFE. It is considerably harder than virgin PTFE, has better wear characteristics and maintains low frictional properties. Fluorosint 500 is also non-abrasive to most mating materials. Fluorosint 207 (PTFE+mica) (white) The composition of the raw material used for the production of Fluorosint 207 is suited for food contact according to the EU/FDA regulations. In combination with a good mechanical performance and an inherent outstanding chemical and hydrolysis resistance, this feature opens numerous application possibilities in food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.
