Other Details

The material known for its non-adhesive properties can be bonded to most materials. By chemically etching one or both sides With PTFE Products can be bonded to a wide variety of materials, including steel, wood, glass, aluminium, titanium, copper, ceramics and other plastics—in fact, any material for which commercial adhesives are made. Bondable TFE opens up a wide variety of new uses, including:Coverings For...Rollers, Slides, Table Tops, Laboratory Benches, Splash Guards, Sanitary Work Surfaces, etc. used in handling foodstuffs, drugs, plastics, chemicals and similar products.Linings For...Chutes, Guide Bars, Containers, Trays, Leather, Plastic and Rubber Molds, Tanks, Pipe, Ducts, Hoppers, Hoods, Mixers, Packaging and Filling Machines, Glue Dispensers, Gluing Machines, Measuring and Feeding Devices, Heat Sealing Jaws, Paint Mixes, Drums, and Spray Booths.The uses suggested are only a few of many applications for which PTFE is so ideally suited, and they will undoubtedly suggest applications to fit your particular needs and requirements.Properties of Bondable PTFE ProductsCoefficient of Friction (unetched surface).... 0.09-0.12Specify Gravity 2.15-2.21Flammability Non-FlammableWater Absorption <0.01Chemical Resistance Inert*Service TemperatureRange -450° F. to +500° F.**Dielectric Streng approx. same as forunetched TFE. Except molten alkali metals, fluorine gas and trifluoride at high temperatures. Applies to TFE only-not to the adhesives. WARNING - Bondable TFE surfaces exposed toultraviolet rays for prolonged periods result indegradation of the etched surface thereby decreasingthe bondable qualities. For this reason bondablesurfaces should be kept shielded from ultraviolet lights.
