Overview
PTFE is the standard grade of the PTFE family in the additives group. It is used in applications such as dry-running gear and bearing compounds, wear-resistant pom and pa parts, inks, paints and coatings. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 2,15–2,20 g/cm³ |
| Particle / fibre length | 3–20 µm |
| Melting point | 327 °C |
| Typical loading | %5–20 |
Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.
Applications
- Dry-running gear and bearing compounds
- Wear-resistant POM and PA parts
- Inks, paints and coatings
- Grease and oil additive
Documents
The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PTFE are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
