Efalon® Carbon-filled K-35
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
Efalon® Carbon-filled K-35 is a PTFE carbon filled(C25 and C35) have less thermal expansion, higher wear resistance, less deformation under load properties compared to virgin Efalon®. Carbon filled PTFE has excellent mechanical and wear properties, retains the excellent frictional properties and is an excellent choice for seals and rings in dynamic and high pressure applications.
