The difference between PTFE and PCTFE is mainly in the chemical structure. The addition of one Chlorine atom in place of one Fluorine atom leads to a massive change in its properties and application.
Polyamides and polyimides are two types of compounds that often get confused due to their similar names. However, they are very different from each other in chemical properties as well as mechanical properties.
What is Sol-Gel coating? Sol-Gel, (otherwise known as Ceramic) materials are formed from small inorganic particles suspended in solution that gel together to form an inorganic matrix.
What is HPHT? (High Pressure, High Temperature)HPHT or High Pressure, High Temperature is defined as those Wells with a bottom hole temperature greater than 150°C (300°F) and requiring pressure control…
Polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE, or Teflon® as it is often referred to, is a tough, ductile material with excellent thermal properties and outstanding resistance to chemicals and the passage of electric current. PTFE has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, believed to be lower than any other solid.
PVDF is a tough, stable fluoropolymer with distinct engineering advantages. Discovered in 1969 by Dr Heijji Kawai, PVDF has a good performance to cost ratio.
Fluorinatedethylenepropylene (FEP) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroetheylene that shares PTFE’s chemical resistance and useful low friction properties, but is more easily formable.
Fluoropolymers share several unique properties which make them suitable for use in the automotive, aerospace, oil and gas and medical industries. PTFE, PFA and FEP are the most well-known and common fluoroplastics. So what, exactly, are their differences?
High-Performance Plastic are distinguished primarily by their temperature stability, but also their mechanical properties.
PTFE is known for its exceptional resistance to chemicals and high temperatures, making it an ideal choice for sealing applications in harsh environments.
Hydrogen applications often require the use of high-performance plastics.
