4 PTE ( Polytetrafluoroethylene) PTE is made of a carbon backbone chain. Each carbon has two fluorine atoms attached to it, like shown on picture below. The base characteristics of PTE are the ones that offering a unique combination of: Low coefficient of friction Excellent chemical inertness Extremely good chemical resistance to almost all chemicals Non-adhesive surface Wide temperature range withstanding (-200 to ) Melting point 327 Excellent dielectric properties.

5 PTE 3D Molecule PTE is a linear and fully fluorinated high molecular weight polymer. The extremely strong carbon fluorine bonds in PTE impart an outstanding combination of properties to PTE. luorine PTE is hydrophobic, liquids will not wet PTE as Polymer arbon it has a high electronegativity. Description Explanation Result The fluorine atoms form a protective sheath arround the chain of carbon atoms Shielding the carbon chain from attack by chemicals hemical and thermal stability. Reducing the surface energy Low coefficient of friction Reducing the surface energy Non-stick properties

6 PTE ILLERS Where the most critical operating conditions are present, even the excellent performances of virgin PTE can not always fulfil the user`s expectations. A range of fillers, typically glass fibre, carbon, graphite, bronze can be blended with PTE resins, usually in the proportion of 2-40%, to improve certain characteristics. The incorporation of fillers can: Increase compressive strength Improve thermal conductivity Improve abrasion resistance Reduce thermal expansion Reduce coefficient of friction Impart electrical conductivity It should be noted that the use of fillers may downgrade other properties of PTE such as chemical and electrical resistance. Low riction

8 EP luorinated Ethylene propylene n m 3 Melt-processable fluoropolymer -> injection molding Melting point Service temperature from -200 to +205 Mechanically, EP is slightly more flexible than PTE Appearance: Highly transparent EP is softer than PTE EP has inferior mechanical and thermal properties than PTE Resistant to sunlight

9 PA perfluoroalkoxy alkane n O O Rf m Melt-processable fluoropolymer -> injection molding Melting point 305 Service temperature from -200 to +260 Similar chemical resistance to PTE Much lower porosity than PTE Appearance: Translucent (virgin), deep black (conductive). omparison with PTE: Equivalent thermal and chemical resistance, superior properties with respect to processability, translucency, permeation resistance and mechanical strength. Material with well-defined melting point the granulate is melted in a melt pot and then forced into the hot tool by a hy draulic press. Permeation: PA gives better barrier properties than PTE
