PTFE/SILICONE

Description

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and SILICONE are two chemicals that are used in different industries.

PTFE is a non-flammable and colorless polymer known as one of the best heat, corrosion and wear resistance materials. Some of the physical characteristics of PTFE are:

• Density: 2.2 grams per cubic centimeter
• Traction force: 20-30MPa
• Heat resistance: It is resistant to a temperature of 260 degrees Celsius.
• Corrosion resistance: Very high and resistant to acid, alkali and chemical solvents
• electrical resistance: High and electrical insulation
• Abrasion: Low

SILICONE is a transparent and elastomeric polymer that is known as one of the best insulating materials and also in terms of resistance to heat, corrosion and moisture. Some of the physical characteristics of SILICONE are:

• Density: 1.12 grams per cubic centimeter
• Traction force: 6-11MPa (for the type of texture, it depends)
• Heat resistance: It is resistant to a temperature of 230 degrees Celsius.
• Corrosion resistance: Resistant to water and oil, but less resistant to gasoline and alcohol.
• electrical resistance: High and electrical insulation
• Abrasion: medium

Due to the high physical characteristics, PTFE is used as a material with extraordinary properties against heat and corrosion, in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medicine, etc. Also, SILICONE is used as a material with high insulating properties against heat, moisture and corrosion, in industries such as electronics, medicine, space, etc.
