REDCO PTFE & TFE
Redco PTFE (TEFLON®) & TFE offer outstanding properties making it the ultimate choice due a magnitude of applications. Redco PFE has the lowest coefficient of friction, no water absorption, is self lubricating, excellent chemical resistance and has a high temperature tolerance (+500F).
Redco PTFE is very non-reactive, and so is often used in containers and pipework for reactive chemicals. It's extremely high bulk resistivity also makes it an ideal material for fabricating long life electrets, useful devices that are the electrostatic analogues of magnets.
As well, because of its extremely low coefficient of friction, it is used for applications where sliding action of parts is needed: bearings, bushings, gears, slide plates, etc. In these applications it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal; it is comparable with ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), although UHMWPE is more resistant to wear than Teflon. For these applications, versions of teflon with mineral oil or molybdenum disulfide embedded as additional lubricants in its matrix are being manufactured.
Other varieties available: PVDF (Poly-Vinylidene Fluoride), Fluorosint, FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), PCTFE (Polychlorotrifluoroethylene), and ECTFE (Thylene-Chlorotrifluoroethylene).
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Solid Pipe and Fittings, Steel Pipe Liner and Fittings, Valve Components, Expansion Bellows, Shaft Packing and Tubing, Seals, Piston Rings, Bushings, Bearings, Wire and Cable Insulation, Fiber Optics Coating...etc.
