The strength of the carbon-fluorine bond and the high atomic weight gives PTFE a range of outstanding properties: - the high heat resistance allows PTFE products to be used in continuous service with temperatures from -200°C to + 260°C - chemical inertia to almost all the chemical products; the only chemicals that react with PTFE are: > alkali metals in elemental state (melted or in solution) > fluorine and some of its derivates - a very low friction coefficient , either static and dynamic - self-lubricating and anti-sticking - non flammable - outstanding electric properties (independent from frequencies and temperatures) - good mechanical properties (excellent tensile strength in low and high temperature conditions; good resistance to fatigue and impacts) - total resistance to ageing , humidity and U.V. rays - non-toxic and qualified for food use FLUORTHERMOPLASTICS Fluorothermoplastic are processed by using the traditional production method of melting extrusion. PFA (PerFluoroAlkoxy) PFA is a melt processable fluoropolymer resin entirely fluorinated and with very high purity. Its molecular structure and also properties are very similar to those of PTFE, including: chemical inertia to almost all the chemical products, broad service temperatures range, resistance to weathering , low coefficient of friction, excellent electrical insulation. Compared to PTFE, PFA is transparent , more resistant and it is able to meet stricter needs. Even absorption and permeation are lower. FEP (PerFluorEthylenePropylene) FEP is a melt processable fluoropolymer resin. It is transparent like PFA and it differs mainly from PTFE and PFA because of the working temperature range that is slightly lower: from -60° C to +205° C . PVDF (PolyVinylidene Fluoride) PVDF is a partially fluorinated thermoplastic that has good mechanical resistance and good wear and creep resistance. It is compatible with most chemicals and it has an excellent weather resistance.
