Advanced Engineering Plastics <strong>for</strong> Elevated Temperature Range<br />
Fluorosint ®<br />
Polytetrafl uoroethylene [PTFE]<br />
The Fluorosint family of materials comprises several enhanced PTFE materials developed to fi ll the<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance gaps where unfi lled and low-tech, fi lled PTFE based polymers underper<strong>for</strong>m. Each Fluorosint<br />
grade was specifi cally developed to excel in demanding bearing and seal applications. While all of the<br />
Fluorosint grades possess the chemical resistance and compliance of PTFE, each grade offers some special<br />
benefi ts that give the designer clear per<strong>for</strong>mance advantages.<br />
Main Characteristics<br />
Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air [260 °C continuously]<br />
Moderate mechanical strength and stiffness<br />
Good dimensional stability<br />
Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance<br />
Low de<strong>for</strong>mation under load [particularly Fluorosint MT-01]<br />
Low coeffi cient of friction and good wear resistance<br />
Outstanding UV- and weather resistance<br />
Physiologically inert [Fluorosint 207 and HPV have a food contact compliant composition]<br />
Inherent low fl ammability<br />
Applications<br />
High per<strong>for</strong>mance bearings, bushings and seals where higher loads and minimal wear are required.<br />
