Due to PTFE having a very high melt viscosity, high melt temperature and a rigid polymeric chain structure, it makes processing by traditional extrusion and injection moulding techniques difficult. Compression moulding, isostatic moulding and ram extrusion are the most used manufacturing techniques.

Compression moulding is the simplest method of PTFE moulding. The method of compression moulding allows the industry to produce final products ranging from several grams to several hundred kilograms in weight. It is the most used processing method for cylindrical, rectangular and sheet shapes of PTFE.

Description: PTFE fillers are additives used to modify the properties of PTFE-based materials. These fillers can improve mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, wear resistance, and enhance its performance in specific applications. Most common fillers are Carbon, Bronze, and Glass fibre in various percentages to suit the application.

Impact of fillers on PTFE properties:

• They can enhance mechanical properties, particularly creep and wear rate.
• They increase the porosity of PTFE compounds
• The dielectric strength decreases while the dielectric constant and dissipation factor increase
• Depending on the filler and percentage, there will be a change in the electrical and thermal conductivity.

Applications: Seals, valve seats, bearing pads, high temperature components, piston rings, hydraulics, chemical industry, food processing, non-stick applications and many others

PTFE etching is a chemical process method of surface treatment to enhance the adhesion of PTFE sheets, films or even finished parts. After etching treatment, the bondable side (treated surface) on the PTFE can be readily distinguished due to its characteristic dark brown colour.

• Good mechanical properties
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Great electrical insulation properties
• Excellent temperature resistance
• Etching provides a keyed surface suitable for bonding
• Excellent UV resistance
• Low friction
• Colour: White (Brown on treated surface)
• Sheet size: 1200 x 1200 from 0.5 – 3 mm thick

Applications: Due to PTFE’s excellent non-stick properties, it makes it almost impossible to bond. If you need the properties of PTFE but require the part to be bonded onto a substrate, etched material is for you.
