PTFE hollow rod FLUOROSINT® 500

solid rodplatereinforced

Reinforced with a synthetic mica, this material exhibits, in addition to its excellent chemical resistance and hydrolysis, excellent mechanical and tribological properties. Fluorosint® 500 has nine times greater resistance to deformation under load than PTFE. Its coefficient of linear thermal expansion approximates the expansion rate of aluminum and is 1/4 of the virgin PTFE. Fluorosint® 500 reinforced PTFE offers an ideal combination of stability and wear resistance for sealing applications where excellent dimensional stability is required. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS - Very high maximum allowable service temperature in air [260 °C continuously] - Moderate mechanical strength and stiffness - Good dimensional stability - Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance - Low deformation under load [particularly Fluorosint MT-01] - Low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance - Outstanding UV- and weather resistance - Physiologically inert [Fluorosint 207 and HPV have a food contact compliant composition] - Inherent low flammability APPLICATIONS - High performance bearings, bushings and seals where higher loads and minimal wear are required.
