Description
Engineering thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics provide superior mechanical properties over traditional signage and packaging materials, each with their own strong points. From agricultural to medical to aerospace applications, the scope of engineering plastics is vast. Plastics are inherently resistant to corrosive media and degradation will outlast traditional metal alternatives. From standard grade materials to custom filled composite grades that are tailor made to overcome engineering challenges.
PTFE Virgin Skived
Excellent chemical resistance
Very low friction coefficient
Physiologically safe (Food Safe)
Low flammability
Operating temperature: -200°C to +260°C
Very good UV resistance
Colour: Natural (White)
Sheet size: 1200 x 1000 (comes in 30m rolls) from 0.25 – 6mm thick
Applications: Seals, valve seats, bearing pads, high temperature components in food processing and nonstick applications
PTFE Filled
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 in various percentages to suit the application.
PTFE Moulded
Excellent chemical resistance Very low friction coefficient Physiologically safe (Food Safe) Low flammability Operating temperature: -200°C to +260°C Very good UV resistance Colour: Natural (White) Sheet size: 1200×1200 from 8 – 50mm thick Applications: Seals, valve seats, bearing pads, high temperature components in food processing and none stick applications.
PTFE Etched
Virgin PTFE grade for ram extrusion, compression and Isostatic moulding. Etched meaning the processed obtained by sodium naphthalene or sodium ammonium. Good mechanical properties Great chemical resistance Great electrical insulation properties Excellent temperature resistance High limiting oxygen index Provides a keyed surface suitable for bonding UV resistance Etched on one side allowing for bonding onto substrate Low friction FDA approved Colour: White
