F10PTFE AND FLUOROPOLYMER COMPONENTS
Technical components in virgin F10PTFE, filled PTFE, and fluoropolymers for industrial applications.
From raw materials to calibrated semi-finished products, to design components for industrial applications manufactured using CNC technologies. Fluorten processes and machines PTFE and high grade Fluoropolimers.
F10PTFE is a fluoropolymer that is normally considered a thermoplastic material. However, it has chemical and physical properties that require special processing techniques. Fluorten has modern equipment (extruders, presses, controlled cycle sintering furnaces) for the production of semi-finished products (tubes, rods, slabs, belts, etc.), complemented by state-of-the-art machine tools (lathes and CNC milling machines) suitable for the production of small or large finished parts.
FILLED F10PTFE
To improve its already exceptional properties, especially when used in high-stress applications, F10PTFE is modified by the addition of various fillers, including: glass fiber, graphite, ceramic, nickel, stainless steel, bronze, MoS2, polyimide, etc., which improve certain mechanical properties, such as compressive strength and thermal conductivity, or reduce the tendency to creep under load. This allows us to manufacture parts that offer significant improvements in both design and operation (e.g., piston rings and rider rings for compressors).
ETCHING F10PTFE
Fluorten has a modern PTFE etching facility that complies with the strictest environmental regulations. Once etched, the F10PTFE products are ready for bonding.
PFA (perfluoroalkoxy)
Is a true thermoplastic material with exceptional properties that are similar to those of F10PTFE. The main characteristic is that it can be processed by injection and transfer molding. We use PFA to manufacture technical components and to coat chemical equipment on a specially designed and constructed line.
FEP
It is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. It has properties similar to those of PFA and is also processed on injection and transfer presses.
PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride)
We manufacture a wide range of semi-finished products (tubes, rods, plates, etc.) by extrusion and transfer molding. Injection molding is used for technical components, even those of considerable size.
ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer)
It is a thermoplastic material like PFA, but with lower thermal and chemical resistance. Mechanical properties, especially hardness and abrasion resistance, are far superior to those of the above materials. Tefzel® is used primarily in the electrical and electromechanical industries. Due to its abrasion resistance, it is also used in coatings for valves and fittings with high chemical and mechanical properties.
