PTFE 101 has a very high chemical resistance almost to any aggressive environment.
Seals made from PTFE 101 are not resistant only to molten alkali metals and elementary fluorine at high temperatures. It is important to remember when applying fluoroplastic seals at low temperatures (pressure), subsidence can occur.
PTFE 101 has an exceptionally wide temperature range (from -200°С up to +260°С), and the lowest friction coefficient among all plastic materials. PTFE 101 has a «non-stick» surface, doesn’t absorb moisture and has good electricity properties. It is also important to take into account the plastic flow versus time at insignificant load (cold flow).
Resistance
PTFE 101 is resistant almost to all chemicals, except elementary fluorine and molten alkali metals. PTFE has the lowest resistance to radiation among all plastic materials.
Application
The dynamic application in water is not recommended, in order to avoid wear increase.
Mainly used
- For hot or cold temperatures
- For sliding and back-up elements
- For rotating seals
- O-rings
- Structural part for chemical and electrical industries
