20% CAF2 Brown (80% Virgin PTFE + 20% Calcium Floride + Special Iron Oxide)

 

This material offers an excellent combination of properties typical of the PTFE 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 alkali
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.

Properties
• Improved thermal dimensional stability
• Excellent chemical stability
• Improved creep resistance
• Excellent electrical insulating properties
• Improved compression strength
• Reduced friction & wear; Low friction behaviour
• Exceptional temperature resistance
• Improved surface hardness

Main applications
PTFE Calcium Fluoride Compound offers excellent properties in the chemical processing, in automotive industries, in sealing application and in mechanical applications in general for bushing, sliding pads, piston rings, seals and machined parts.
Its excellent load and wear behaviour together with its compatibility with a wide range of mating surfaces make a good choice formost food and pharmaceutical bearing applications.
can replace glass filled PTFE in uses where it comes in contact with chemicals that attack glass, such as hydrofluoric acid and strong alkalis.
