2% CSC (98% Virgin PTFE + 2% Special Conductive Filler)
PTFE Carbon Conductive Compound preferred for parts and components requiring very good mechanical properties.
This material offers an excellent combination of properties typical of the fluoropolymer resins:
• Service Temperature: offers excellent resistance to continuous service temperatures – working conditions from -100° C (-148°F) up to 250°C (482°F) and, for limited periods, even to higher temperatures; Product’s low temperature resistance allows satisfactory performance down to -200°C (-328°F).
• Chemical resistance: offers high inertness towards nearly all known chemicals. Only attacked elemental alkaline metals, chlorine trifluoride and elemental fluorine at high temperature and pressures might affect properties.
• Solvents resistance: offers insoluble properties in all solvents up to temperatures as high as 300° C (572° F). Certain highly fluorinated oils only swell and dissolve PTFE at temperatures close to the crystalline melting point.
PTFE Carbon Conductive Compound, unlike virgin PTFE, has an antistatic behaviour. The lower surface and volume resistivity prevents the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of the material.
Properties

Main applications
PTFE Carbon Conductive Compound offers useful properties in various applications such as chemical resistance, thermal stability, cryogenic properties, low coefficient of friction, low surface energy and flame resistance.
These properties allow the application of PTFE Carbon Conductive Compound in several fields such as Chemical, Electrical and Electronic, Petrochemical, Automotive, Mechanical, Medical, Aeronautics, Semiconductor and Food industry.
PTFE Carbon Conductive Compound is ideal for the applications where static charges can became a problem and a hazard, e.g., in hydraulic transport of non- conductor fluids.
