Glass fibre is used as a 25% Glass Fiber Filled Teflon 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).
• 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
