Additional Details
Polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) is a high performance polymer material which on its own or filled with various fillers has over the years found an ever increasing number of applications throughout industry. fillers can be added to ptfe in varying proportions and combinations in order to increase the materials mechanical strength or resistance to wear or creep.
Examples of some of the many materials which can be blended with ptfe are:
glass fibre,
graphite,
carbon,
bronze,
stainless steel,
ceramic,
mineral fibres,
molybdenum,
Peek ptfe offers important benefits to mechanical and civil engineers, the material properties can be adjusted by incorporating fillers and additives to better suit particular applications.
