Materials
Fluorinoid® Range
Our company Fluorinoid® register, based on elastomer, PTFE and thermoplastic technologies includes over 500 materials that offer exceptional characteristics enabling them to operate in demanding environmental conditions at temperatures to over 300°C.
We ensure the highest standards of finished product by retaining complete control of the manufacturing process, whilst converting compounds into semi-finished stock. Compounds can be moulded, extruded and processed into sheet and tape or machined components to suit specific requirements.
Our Materials
-
PTFE
PTFE or Teflon® is made up of Fluorine and Carbon atoms, the Fluorine atoms are just the right size to form a helical shield around the carbon atoms.
-
PFA
PFA is a co-polymer product of PTFE. The co-monomer perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether interferes in the crystallisability and molecular weight to achieve good mechanical properties and melt processability.
-
PEEK
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is an organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family.
-
FEP
Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene that shares PTFE’s chemical resistance and useful low friction properties.
-
PCTFE
PCTFE Kel- F® or Neoflon® is a homopolymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene. The addition of a chlorine bond contributes to lower the melt viscosity.
-
ETFE
ETFE is a fluorine based plastic, and could be described as a tough high strength version of PTFE. It has excellent chemical, electrical and high energy radiation resistance.
-
PVDF
A semi-crystalline thermoplastic, PVDF is used in applications requiring the highest of purity and will withstand harsh chemicals.
-
Acetal
Acetal or polyoxymethylene (POM), is a formaldehyde-based, semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic which serves as an alternative to metals.
-
Polyethermide
PEI is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic characterised by a combination of high temperature resistance, outstanding mechanical and electrical properties.
-
Polyamide 66
Polyamide 66 or Nylon 66 is one of the most popular engineering thermoplastics and is majorly used as a replacement to metal in various applications.
-
Polyamide 12
Nylon 12 is a high quality engineering plastic material, available in a range of grades to suit many applications.
-
UHMWPE
UHMWPE is an outstanding bearing material with exceptional sliding properties and remains tough even at low temperatures.
-
PES
PES is a transparent, high-performance polymer known for its dimensional stability at high temperatures.
