PTFE Molding
The basic types of molding powders are those for compression molding and ram extrusion molding. These are processed at ambient temperature followed by sintering above the crystalline melting point. Possessed with advantages like excellent creep resistance, large tensile elongation, excellent electrical insulation while readily machinable to complex forms, foldable, stretchable and modified PTFE is also weldable with longer flexural life than conventional grades. The following grades are available in order to suit various molding methods.
Grades | Series B1 | Series B2 | Series B3 | Series B4 |
Granules | Fine cut | Mildly pelletized | Free flowing pellets | Modified fine cut and free flowing pellets |
Products | Applications | Applications | Applications | Applications |
Filled compounds, various skived tapes, gasket sheets | Compounding, high quality skived tapes billets | |||
Rods, bush, gasket sheets, blocks, non-standard articles, bearing pads | Compression and isostatic molding, quality skived tapes billets, sheet molding | |||
