PTFE
Ice Loong
PTFE resins have an upper service temperature of 500º F (260 C) and is one of the most widely used fluoroplastic material. PTFE mechanical properties are low compared to other advanced engineering plastics, but its properties remain useful over a temperature range of -400° F to 400° F forming its broad operating range suitable for many applications. PTFE can be used as low as - 436º F (-260 C ).
PTFE properties are often enhanced using a variety of fillers creating a PTFE compound, such as a 15 or 25% glass filled PTFE, to improve wear resistance, increase part stability, and improves creep strength and reduce deformation under load in comparison with virgin grade PTFE. For electrical insulators, the addition of glass filler has little impact on electrical properties.
