Description
PTFE and VITON are two chemicals that are used in many industries.
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a non-flammable and colorless polymer that is 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
VITON or fluoroalkyl material is used as a synthetic rubber in many chemical, oil and gas, automotive and space industries. Some physical characteristics of VITON are:
- Density: About 1.9 grams per cubic centimeter
- melting point: Between 175 and 185 degrees Celsius
- Heat resistance: It is resistant to a temperature of 300 degrees Celsius.
- Corrosion resistance: Very high and resistant to acid, alkali and chemical solvents
- electrical resistance: High and electrical insulation
- Abrasion: good and high
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, VITON is used as a rubber resistant to heat, corrosion and wear, in industries such as oil and gas, refineries, etc.
