Pure PTFE is only of limited use for sealing tasks due to its material-related cold flow and high abrasion.
For this reason, a large number of PTFE compounds have been developed in order to take all the relevant parameters into account.
- Temperature
- Media influence
- Press
- Sealing gap
- Mounting options
And additionally for dynamic applications
- Material and surface of the sliding partner
- speed
The way in which the materials are processed also has an influence on their properties. For example, a glass-filled material can become gas-tight through special heat treatment. Our team is therefore happy to advise you in the early development phase in order to find the most suitable materials from the wide range of possibilities.
