GLASS FILLED PTFE

Glass fibres are used as the filler for reinforcing the Glass filled PTFE. Due to the addition of this filler the mechanical properties, such as creep performance, wear resistance, and compressive strength of the PTFE is improved. Glass filled PTFE are suitable for the environments of oxidizing nature. According to the application requirement, the filler percentage composition of glass fibre can be accommodated as per requirement. With the increase in glass fibre filler percentage, the mechanical properties of the PTFE also improve, but this also increases the coefficient of friction as compared to that of Virgin PTFE.
