- PCTFE, combines physical and mechanical properties, non flammability, chemical resistance, near-zero moisture absorption and excellent electrical properties not found in any other thermoplastic fluoropolymer that also performs well in a temperature range of -400° F to 400° F. PCTFE also has high compressive strength, an exceptional resistance to cold flow and is optically transparent. Because PCTFE is a highly fluorinated resin, it is nonflammable and resists most corrosive chemicals.
Preferred Fields:
Cryogenic and chemical processing components, seals and gaskets, aerospace valve seats, pump parts, impellers, diaphragms, and plugs. Laboratory instruments, nuclear service/high radiation exposure, liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen valve linings.
Characteristics:
- Dimensionally stable, rigid, and resistant to cold flow
- Very low gas permeation and outgassing
- Near zero moisture absorbtion
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High compression strength
- Low deformation under load
- Non-flammable
- Temperature range: -400° to 380°F
- Radiation Resistance
