Product Description

Glass fibre is used as a 15% Glass Filled PTFE Tube as it offers much improved compression and wear properties. The material may also be inert gas sintered to further improve creep properties and reduce porosity and gas permeability (there would be a consequent loss of tensile properties).

Product Detail

Style KXT GU980-15  15% Glass Filled PTFE Tube

15% Glass fiber Filled PTFE tube reinforced with 15% glass fibres depending on the needs of the application. Glass fibre is used as a PTFE filler as it offers much improved compression and wear properties.  The materialmay also be inert gas sintered to further improve creep properties and reduce porosity and gas permeability (there would be a consequent loss of tensile properties) 

 

Advantages:

 Glass-filled PTFE tube has enhanced strength and stiffness
 Very good electrical insulation properties
 Extremely good chemical resistance.

 Improved dimensional stability

 Enhanced creep resistance

• Good sliding properties

 

Application:

 Pump and instrument construction

 Food and medical technology
 Chemical engineering parts

 Electrical industry

 Pump housings

 Shaft bearings

 Valve seats
