1 of 146 products in this brand
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon® PTFE G163 is a virgin granular PTFE homopolymer. It is a fine powder grade used for molding but also intended as a feedstock for making filled PTFE compounds. Resin properties keep the insulation thickness to a minimum while tolerating a wider range of temperatures (-180 °C to 260 °C) than other insulators.

Polymer Name: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Processing Methods: Injection Molding
