CARBON FILLED PTFE

Virgin PTFE has good wear resistance, elastic and frictional properties, but its mechanical strength cannot withstand dynamic and high-pressure applications. Hence, Carbon is added in PTFE in the form of powder or fibres as the filler material, which improves the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and wear resistance of the PTFE. This makes the Carbon filled PTFE an excellent choice of material for rings and seals in a dynamic and high-pressure environment. As carbon is a conductive material, this ensures the suitability of Carbon filled PTFE products for higher thermal applications.
