5% Glass Fiber-Filled PTFE Tube

5% Glass Filled PTFE tube reinforced with 5% glass fibres depending on the needs of the application. Glass fibre is used as a

PTFE filler as it offers much improved compression and wear properties.  The materialmay also be inert gas sintered to further

improve creep properties and reduce porosity and gas permeability (there would be a consequent loss of tensile properties)

Advantages:

• Glass-filled PTFE rod has enhanced strength and stiffness
• Very good electrical insulation properties
• Extremely good chemical resistance.

• Improved dimensional stability

• Enhanced creep resistance

• Good sliding properties

 

Application:

• Pump and instrument construction

• Food and medical technology
• Chemical engineering parts

• Electrical industry

• Pump housings

• Shaft bearings

• Valve seats

• Shaft seals

• Gaskets., etc
