PTFE
is High molecular weight polymer composed by Carbon and Fluorine based
on the polymeric chain -CF2=CF2-. This material is a soft, low friction
fluoropolymer with outstanding chemical resistance and weathering
resistance.
Mechanical
properties can be improved by adding fillers such as glass fibers,
bronze, carbon, and graphite. PTFE Politef is one of the most versatile
plastic materials known and can be used for applications where other
materials can't be used. The compressive strength at a certain
predetermined compression value is one of the most significant
mechanical characteristics of PTFE Politef, in a wide range of service
temperatures.
