Fluorosint® PTFE’s unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to virgin PTFE. This bonding results in properties not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. Fluorosint grades offer an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability.
Chemical resistance parallels PTFE
Continuous use temperatures to 500°F (260°C)
Compared to PTFE
higher load carrying capability
1/9 of the deformation under load
lower coefficient of thermal expansion
