PTFE COMPOUNDSISOSTATICALLY MOULDED RODSISOSTATICALLY MOULDED TUBECOMPRESSION MOULDED CYLINDERSCOMPRESSION MOULDED SHEETSTANDARD STOCK SHAPESTECHNICAL SERVICE AND APPLICATIONSPTFE COMPOUNDSAs the need for more demanding engineering uses emerge, it is possible to add a variety of fillers to pure unfilled PTFE that will improve its physical properties. The addition of these fillers through the proper combination can be tailor made to suit mechanical applications that would normally be outside the scope of virgin PTFE material.The fillers include glass fibre, bronze, carbon, graphite, moly, carbon fibre, polyimide and ekonol. We have more than 100 formulations to suit your requirements. We can also offer standard fillers in percentages to suit your specific application and cost. Inorganic

and thermoplastic polymers are commonly used to enhance wear and load carrying properties of PTFE.FLUORO PACIFIC are also willing to accommodate small batch quantities, using specific fillers to correctly enhance materials properties to best suit the end requirements.These compounds are then processed by a variety of methods depending on the shape, size and physical properties required. Material certification is available.Incoming raw materials and semi-finished products are tested in our own laboratory to ensure consistent quality. Special colours are also available.ISOSTATICALLY MOULDED RODSPTFE rods of longer lengths and small diameters have, until now, been produced by the Ram-extrusion method. A Medium standard product can be obtained, depending on the experience of the producer and the quality of the equipment used. Diameters greater than 30mm can be produced by vertical compression moulding, though this limits the length to 300mm, with 500mm an exception. Fluoro Pacific has perfected a unique uniform isostatic compression moulding process, to produce rods from 12mm to 65mm diameter in 2 metre lengths.This process ensures the following unique features:Consistent properties over the entire 2 m length thanks to our even pressure distribution system and batch sintering processStress free for the production of precision machined partsNon standard diameters availableAvailable in small quantities and with specialised fillersReduced tool wear on virgin materials compared with extruded productAvailable in many material grades.ISOSTATICALLY MOULDED TUBEA range of tube, rod and shapes sizing from 25 to 75mm in 1 metre lengths have been developed for CNC machined parts.COMPRESSION MOULDED CYLINDERSOver 500 size combinations available in various material grades.OD(mm)Max LengthStd Length35-58 250-300 15060-97 200-300 150104-195 200-300 150205-373 150 150415-639 25-150 25-150COMPRESSION MOULDED SHEETCustom material grade sheet is available in sizes ranging from 10 to 50mm thick in 610mm sq.STANDARD STOCK SHAPESA range of standard material shapes are stock:Sheet is stocked in the size range of 3 to 25mm for 1200sq and to 50mm thick in 600sq.Tapes are stocked in the size range of 0.25 to 3mm in 1200mm wide(Etched also available).Rod 12-65mm Dia in 2m lengths,70 to 90mm Dia in 1000/300mm lengths,95 to 125mm Dia in 300mm lengths and 130mm Dia plus in 150mm lengthsTECHNICAL SERVICE AND APPLICATIONSSome example applications of PTFE which FLUORO PACIFIC can help with include the following:Slide BearingsAcid Mixing NozzlesV-Chevron SetsCommutator Insulator sleevesLined Pipes and FittingsBellowsVesselsDip PipesSealsFood IndustryBearingsConductors or InsulatorsChemical Processing
