Technical Details & Test Data
- Typical properties
Fluteck™ P1550 is a Modified PTFE Premium Grade preferred for parts and components requiring very good mechanical properties. Fluteck™ P1550 offers an excellent combination of properties typical of the fluoropolymer resins:
- Service Temperature : Fluteck™ P1550 offers excellent resistance to continuous service temperatures – working conditions from -100°C up to 250°C and, for limited periods, even to higher temperatures; Product’s low temperature resistance allows satisfactory performance down to –200°C.
- Chemical resistance : Fluteck™P1550 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 : Fluteck™ P1550 offers insoluble properties in all solvents up to temperatures as high as 300°C. Certain highly fluorinated oils only swell and dissolve PTFE at temperatures close to the crystalline melting point
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Futeck™ P1550 Modified PTFE Premium Grade can be stored for a long period of life and is exceptionally resistant to aging and weather conditions up to 10 years. Specific aging tests carried out on sample exposed to aging and atmospheric conditions, showed no changes in weight and volume. In case of semi-finished products, before processing or before the machining, it is advisable to store the material for 24 hours in the production area, preferable in a clean and dry place at a temperature of less 25°C, preferably between 21-25°C. This is very important when room temperature is low; in such cases the material should be conditioned up to 72 hours in the production area in the recommended temperature range.
