DESCRIPTION

Teflon™ is a registered trademark of Chemours for its fluoropolymer resins. Teflon™ PTFE fluoropolymer resins are part of the family of fluorine-based products that also includes Teflon™ FEP and Teflon™ PFA and Tefzel™ fluoropolymer resins. These materials can be used to make a variety of articles having a combination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, temperature, and friction resisting properties unmatched by articles made of any other material. Commercial use of these and other valuable properties combined in one material has established Teflon™ PTFE fluoropolymer resins as outstanding engineering materials for use in many industrial and military applications. Teflon™ PTFE fluoropolymer resins may also be compounded with fillers or reinforcing agents to modify their performance in use. The design and engineering data presented in this handbook are intended to assist the design engineer in determining where and how Teflon™ PTFE fluoropolymer resins may best be used. It is recommended that the design engineer work closely with an experienced fabricator because the method of fabrication may markedly affect not only production
costs, but also the properties of the finished article.

Teflon™ PTFE 7A X is a white powder with a small particle size. Its small particle size helps to minimize voids, even at relatively low molding pressures. High bulk density increases the size of moldings possible from a given mold or press opening.

Teflon™ PTFE 7A X is preferred for large moldings requiring optimum mechanical and electrical properties. It offers an excellent combination of properties that are characteristic of Teflon™ fluoroplastic resins:

• Chemical inertness

• Exceptional dielectric properties

• Heat resistance

• Toughness and flexibility

• Low coefficient of friction

• Non-stick characteristics

• Negligible water absorption

• Excellent weather resistance Properly processed products made from neat

Teflon™ PTFE 7A X provide the superior properties typical of fluoroplastic resins. It’s easy to process, handle, and machine.
