Magnetic stirring bars (PTFE)
Commonly coated in polymer to provide chemical inertness; occasionally glass will be the coating for use with most liquid alkali metals and alkali metal solutions in ammonia. Both of these coatings are inert and will not contaminate or react with the reaction solution. PTFE. High magnetic streng...Read more -
Material Comparison – ABS/Polyurethane and PTFE Filled
PTFE’s significant chemical, temperature, moisture, and electrical resistances make it an ideal material whenever products, tools, and components need to be durable and reliable in even the most strenuous applications. On top of this, PTFE coated wire boasts unique low-temperature durabilit...Read more -
Material Comparison – PTFE & UV
UV stabilizers are used frequently in plastics, including cosmetics and films. The primary function is to protect the substance from the long-term UV degradation effects from ultraviolet radiation.PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon ...Read more -
Extrusion Foaming of Fluorocarbon Resins
DuPont has developed patented technology for the compounding and processing of fluoropolymer foam resins. The foam process involves the continuous injection of a gas such as nitrogen directly into an extruder filled with molten resin. A specially designed extruder screw is typically utilized to c...Read more -
Is PTFEsafe?
PTFE, invented by global chemical giant DuPont in the 1930s, became as much a symbol of kitchen convenience as cling wrap and the food processor. But PTFE could be coming to a sticky end – because the manufacturing process uses a chemical that potentially causes cancer, and the US Environme...Read more -
PTFE vs MPTFE (Modified PTFE)
PTFE and TFM are used for bellows in extreme corrosion resistance applications – specifically organic compounds, acids, and salts – as well as high temperature and high purity applications. They both exhibit non-stick behavior, and have a similar wide range of usage temperatures. &nbs...Read more
