The plumber would use Polytetrafluoroethylene mostly on the male thread of a radiator valve going into the radiator. Emergency plumbers normally use PTFE on emergencies when it co...Read More -
EPDM vs PTFE
EPDM rubber belongs to the thermoset elastomers (rubber) classification, while PTFE belongs to the thermoplastics. Please note that the two materials have significantly dissimilar densities. EPDM rubber is a thermoset elastomer or rubber material. It has a fairly low density and the highest...Read More -
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) Properties & Applications
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) is a thermoplastic chlorofluoropolymer with the molecular formula (CF2CClF)n, where nis the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule. It is similar to polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), except that it is a homopolymerof the monomer chlorotrifluoroeth...Read More -
Flexible Vinyl Tubing
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or “vinyl” is a flexible or rigid material that is chemically nonreactive, relatively nonflammable, hard wearing, and resistant to water and corrosion. PVC tubing exhibits excellent elongation and drape. It is typically used for lower pressure applications and for OEM de...Read More -
FEP(Fluorinated ethylene propylene) Materials
Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). can be described as a fluoropolymer resin having most of the excellent physical. chemical and electrical properties of PTFE but can be processed using conventional thermoplastics processing equipment. FEP heat shrink roll covers are ideal where protection fr...Read More -
