We are manufacturers of bars and tubes of virgin PTFE and PTFE with fillers. We have a wide variety of sizes and stock availability, being able to provide an immediate manufacturing service and the most competitive delivery times in the market.
VIRGIN PTFE
The most outstanding characteristics of pure PTFE are:
Anti-adherent.
High dielectric properties.
Low coefficient of friction.
Non-toxic / Inert.
PTFE is a thermally stable polymer, which maintains a very high viscosity at temperatures up to +273°C and can be used in temperatures between -200°C and +260°C.
For this reason, PTFE is indispensable in industry. As examples, it is used in the manufacture of PTFE bellows for the fine chemical sector, mechanical seals in the petrochemical industry, all types of seals and parts for the pharmaceutical sector, manufacture of valves for hydraulics, anti-adherent for food, packaging and industrial paints, among others.
However, there are some specific areas where the properties of virgin PTFE must be improved and are obtained by adding some charge to the PTFE. In Merefsa we can advise you on the type of charge that best suits your needs.
PTFE and its charges
CARBON CHARGED PTFE: This additive is added at a percentage usually of 25%. It improves wearing resistance, being self-lubricating and deformation by charge, increases thermal conductivity and leaves chemical resistance unaltered; but the dielectric properties are substantially modified.
APPLICATIONS: used in seals where high resistance to wear under high pressure is required (piston rings for non-lubricated compressors, bearings).
