Chemical Resistant, Corrosion Resistant, Good Bonding Strength, Good Smoothness, High Purity, Service Life Extension
- Polymer Name
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
- Tensile Strength
- 20.0 - 40.0 MPa
- Usage
Duro-Bond PTFE-M lined equipment is used in many corrosive and High purity applications. The outstanding corrosion protection provided by Duro-Bond PTFE-M broadens equipment service capabilities and extends its useful life. Its broad range of chemical resistance, together with its excellent adhesive bonding characteristics, makes Duro-Bond PTFE-M an ideal lining material for almost any corrosive or high purity application.
- Hazard
Thermal decomposition - PTFE-M starts to decompose at 260°C; Hazardous decomposition products - Gaseous fluorinated hydrocarbons (fluoro-olefins, carbonyl fluoride and hydrogen fluoride). Scrap PTFE-M must not be incinerated.; Hazardous reactions - Traces of COF2 are evident at around 350°C.; Transportation classifications - PTFE-M is not classified as a hazardous material. No special precautions or procedures need be followed to transport PTFE-M resin or semi-finished products
- Markets
- Agriculture & Feed
- Automotive & Transportation
- Industrial
- Advantages
Duro-Bond PTFE-M linings provide a broad range of chemical resistance which far exceeds the corrosion protection of other plastic, glass, and high nickel alloy materials.; The glass knit fabric backing is partially imbedded into the PTFE-M film thus providing a strong integral bond and also providing a surface that can be successfully bonded to various substrates.; The weak attraction between PTFE-M and other molecules provides for a slick, smooth, non-sticking outer surface and thereby makes Duro-Bond PTFE-M an ideal choice for applications requiring good release characteristics.; PTFE-M, from which Duro-Bond PTFE-M sheet lining is produced, has FDA acceptance and can be used successfully in applications where a high level of purity is required.
