40% Bronze-Powder-Filled Teflon PTFE Tube – High Wear Resistance & Thermal Conductivity
KXT BU980-40 40% Bronze-Powder-Filled Teflon PTFE Tube is a bronze powder filled PTFE tube containing 40% bronze powder by weight. The addition of bronze to PTFE gives better dimensional stability and lowers creep, cold flow and wear. It increases hardness and compressive strength whilst also increasing thermal and electrical conductivity. Manufactured by Kaxite, a professional China manufacturer and supplier of PTFE tubes and filled PTFE products.
40% Bronze Powder High Wear Resistance -200 ~ +260°C Thermally & Electrically Conductive
Direct answer: The KXT BU980-40 40% Bronze-Powder-Filled Teflon PTFE Tube is a filled PTFE tube compounded with 40% bronze powder. The bronze powder filler has better wear, creep resistance, and higher thermal conductivity than glass fiber filled PTFE. The compound is easily machined, but has poor chemical resistance in the presence of acids and alkali.
Bronze powder filled PTFE is useful in applications which undergo high mechanical loads or high-speed rubbing contacts where the bronze filler supplies the strength and conductivity to carry away excess, unwanted heat.
With a specific gravity of 3.2–3.6 g/cm³ and a tensile strength of 18–25 MPa, the KXT BU980-40 is one of the hardest wearing filled PTFE grades available from Kaxite. Request a quote →
Material Overview
What Is Bronze-Powder-Filled PTFE?
Direct answer: Bronze-powder-filled PTFE is a PTFE compound in which 40% (by weight) bronze powder is blended into virgin PTFE. The bronze filler greatly improves wear resistance, deformation strength, dimensional stability, and thermal and electrical conductivity, while reducing creep and cold flow.
Better Wear Resistance
The best wear properties of any filled PTFE grade — bronze filled PTFE is extremely hard wearing and suitable for high-load, high-speed rubbing contacts.
Lower Creep & Cold Flow
The bronze filler improves dimensional stability, lowers creep and cold flow, and increases hardness and compressive strength.
High Thermal Conductivity
Bronze powder improves thermal conductivity, allowing excess friction heat to be carried away from the rubbing surface.
Electrically Conductive
The bronze filler makes the compound electrically conductive, which is useful in antistatic and conductive applications.
