Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) vs Polymer PTFE/FEP Machining
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. Its manufacture employs the same method today. The EPA e...Read More -
What is the difference between PTFE and PVDF
PTFE is much more chemically resistant to corrosion than PVDF or PE. The more Fluorine atoms on the backbone, the more proteins will not be able to chemically latch onto the surface. Main difference between PTFE and PVDF Polymer PVDF PTFE Structure –[–CF2–CHF–]n– –[–CF2–CF2]n– Production ...Read More -
PTFE Electrical Tape
Anti-solvent, strong adhesive, good performance of heat withstanding, strong strength, etc. The base material was made via fiberglass impregnation in PTFE and refined, coating with silicone adhesive and with excellent heat resistant and mechanical strength.Good release and smoothGood performance...Read More -
PTFE Convoluted Tubing
PTFE convoluted tubing is produced using a modified grade of standard PTFE offering the advantage of excellent flex-life performance compared to most other fluoropolymers together with greatly improved stress crack resistance. Containing fewer pinhole voids than standard material, PTFE convolute...Read More -
PTFE Convoluted Hose
Standard seamless PTFE braided hoses are extremely lightweight, flexible and kink resistant. Convoluted Fluoropolymer PTFE hoses are less susceptible to cracking from stress or flexing than metal hoses or other fluoropolymer hoses when used within designated operating parameters. Features ...Read More -
PTFE Chemical Inertness
Temperatures above 77°C are not favorable for components of most elastomers and plastics, whereas PTFE withstands temperatures as high as 260°C. Even below 77°C, if acids corrosive to metals and organic solvents are combined, liners and components of PTFE are often preferred because elastomers an...Read More
