Fluorosint - Reinforced PTFE
Fluorosint's unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to PTFE.
This bonding results in Fluorosint which has a load carrying capability and thermal expansion rate not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. The chemical and temperature resistance inherent in PTFE are practically retained.
Fluorosint is considerably harder than virgin PTFE, has better wear characteristics and maintains low frictional properties.
Fluorosint Characteristics:
- Very high max. allowable service temperature in air (250°C continuously)
- Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- Good wear resistance due to low coefficient of friction
- Very good dimensional stability
- Physiologically inert (only applies to Fluorosint 207)
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Outstanding UV and weather resistance
- Low flammability
Fluorosint Applications
Labyrinth seals and shrouds
Abradable seals in turbo machinery fabricated from Fluorosint 500 tubular bar reliably perform in hostile chemical environments while providing dramatic efficiency gains. (Prior materials: Aluminium, Bronze Babbit)
Dishwasher arm bearing
These bearings made of Fluorosint 207 are produced directly to size, offer a 20 year service life, and FDA compliance (Prior material : PTFE)
Transmission and power steering seal rings
Europe's premier automobile manufacturers choose Fluorosint 500 over other filled PTFE for improved performance and service life capabilities. (Prior material : GF PTFE)
Valve seats
Seats fabricated from Fluorosint 207 excel in steam and hot air service due to their non permeability, excellent dimensional stability, and low wear rate. (Prior materials: PTFE, Filled PTFE)
Fluorosint 500 (Reinforced Polytetrafluorsethylene (PTFE) + mica) ivory
Fluorosint 500 has nine times greater resistance to deformation under load than unfilled PTFE (tested according to ASTM D 621; stress of 14 MPa of 50°C). Its coefficient of linear thermal expansion approaches the expansion rate of aluminium and is 1/5 that of virgin PTFE. It is considerably harder than virgin PTFE, has better wear characteristics and maintains low frictional properties. Fluorosint 500 is also non-abrasive to most mating materials.
Fluorosint 207 (Reinforced Polytetrafluorsethylene (PTFE) + mica) white
Fluorosint 207 is suited for food contact according to the EU/FDA regulations. In combination with a good mechanical performance and an inherent outstanding chemical and hydrolysis resistance, this feature opens numerous application possibilities in food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.
