Benefits
The benefits of PTFE applications
High chemical resistance.
Not attacked by acids, bases, and most organic solvents.
Withstands up to + 260 ° C continuously.
Tough at low temperatures down to -160 ° C.
Lowest friction of all plastics.
Not degraded by UV radiation.
Not attacked by microorganisms.
Good electrical and dielectric properties.
Very low water absorption.
Restrictions
The restrictions of fluorescent HPV
High melt viscosity makes the material difficult to work with.
Poor creep resistance.
High density relative to other plastics.
Attacked by molten alkali metals, fluorine gas, oxygen difluoride, and chlorine trifluoride (except PTFE).
Fluorescent HPV plastic is a high-performance bearing grade of Fluorescent. This PTFE plastic was developed for bearing applications where other, low-tech PTFE formulations either cannot perform or exhibit premature wear. This variant is designed to withstand high PV values and also shows improved load-bearing capacity. The PTFE plastic is most commonly used in such things as:
electrical applications in aircraft
robots, electrical machines
gaskets
pipes
filters
self-lubricating bearings
coating in pans
foil
surface coating in chemical equipment
electrical insulation material.
Fluorescent HPV is similar to variant 207, approved by the FDA for food contact. However, European standards are not met.
