15% Glass Filled PTFE Tube

Glass fibre is used as a 15% Glass Filled PTFE Tube as it offers much improved compression and wear properties. The material may 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).

Product Description

Style KXT GU980-15 15% Glass Filled PTFE Tube

15% Glass fiber Filled PTFE tube reinforced with 15% 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 tube 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
