Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Key Benefits
- Wear resistant
- Higher coefficient of friction
- Improved hardness
- Abrasive filler unsuitable for some applications
- Lower thermal expansion
- Resistance to gas permeation is reduced
- Lower deformation under load
- Non-conductive
- Products Features
- Improves creep resistance, both at low and high temperatures
- Chemically stable (except for strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid (HF))
- Little effect on the electrical properties of PTFE, and improves wear and friction behavior
PTFE Glass filled is very commonly used in valve seat applications. Increased compressive strength and creep resistance of the material allow much greater pressure on the valve seat and as such a much higher rated valve.
