Fluorosint - Reinforced PTFE
Fluorosint®
207 (Reinforced Polytetrafluorsethylene (PTFE) + mica)
white
Fluorosint® 500 (Reinforced Polytetrafluorsethylene
(PTFE) + mica) ivory
Fluorosint's
unique properties are the result of a proprietary process
in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically
linked to PTFE. This bonding results into 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.

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.

The
composition of the raw material used for the production
of 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.

Fluorosint
Proven 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)
Technical Notes
The mechanical performance of Fluorosint 207 and 500 is not as good as Ketron Peek and Torlon PAI.
