Bushings & bearings, chemical processing components, electrical components, gaskets, pump & valve components, seals, valve seats, wear pads, and food industry appliation.
Characteristics:
- Very high crystallinity, highest density of all polymers
- Very tough down to low temperatures
- Extremely high resistance to chemicals, also to oxidizing acids
- Hydrolysis-resistant
- Very low moisture absorption
- High thermal stability, low dimensional stability at temperature
- Anti-adhesive properties, very good sliding properties, no stick-slip behaviour
- High resistance to UV radiation, high thermal expansion
- Minimal dissipation factor, good electrical insulation properties
- Inherently flame resistant, self-extinguishing
