    PTFE Forming and Fabrication – Working Speeds

    When extreme tolerance must be specified, or when product shapes are very complex, or when just one or two prototypes are required, the machining of [email protected] PTFE resins becomes a logical means of fabrication. All standard operations-turning, facing, boring, drilling, threading, tap...

    PTFE Filled Properties

    PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), a fluorocarbon-based polymer, is also known by Dupont’s brand name polymer® and also as Furon’s brand name Rulon®. It is commonly used in its virgin (unfilled) state. Virgin PTFE is capable in its own right, but when fillers are added, it enhances the material wear...

    PTFE Fiber

    PTFE is an excellent electrical insulator with good dielectric properties. This is especially true at high radio frequencies, making it eminently suitable for use as an insulator in cables and connector assemblies and as a material for printed circuit boards. Combined with its high melting temper...

    PTFE Uses

    PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electronegativity of ...
