Fluorinated ethylene propylene VS PTFE
Fluorinated ethylene propylene or FEP is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene. It differs from the PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) resins in that it is melt-processable using conventional injection molding and screw extrusion techniques. Fluorinated ethylene propylene was inv...Read More -
Polymer Properties of PTFE – PTFE Properties
PTFE has excellent properties such as chemical inertness,heat resistance (both high and low), electrical insulation properties, low coefficient of friction (static 0.08 and dynamic 0.01), and nonstick property over a wide temperature range (260 to þ260 C). It has a density in the range of 2.1e2.3...Read More -
PFA and TFM PTFE Excellent Material Choice for Bellows and Diaphragms
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), aka polymer, is typically the first choice polymer for bellows and diaphragms, but did you know that PTFE isn’t the only polymer you can choose from? In this article we are going to compare two other polymers – PFA and TFM – to PTFE as a material choice ...Read More -
PEEK vs UHMW Machining
PEEK is a temperature-resistant engineered thermoplastic that performs well under exposure to high temperatures and chemical environments. This material’s ability to retain its physical properties and withstand temperatures up to 480 degrees F makes it a highly valuable material that is sui...Read More -
Polymer Properties – PVDF & PVF Properties
PVDF resists most organic and inorganic chemicals including chlorinated solvents. Poly(vinyl fluoride) is a semicrystalline polymer with a planar, zigzag conformation. The degree of crystallinity can vary significantly from 20 to 60% and is a function of defect structures. PVDF Properties Polyv...Read More -
