Description
Teflon ™ PTFE 8A X is a free-flowing white powder composed of relatively large particles and ideal for isostatic molding. Its most unique features are improved moldability at lower pressure and improved surface smoothness of finished parts. It offers an excellent combination of properties that are characteristic of Teflon ™ fluoroplastic resins:

• Chemical inertness

• Exceptional dielectric properties

• Heat resistance

• Toughness and flexibility

• Low coefficient of friction

• Non-stick characteristics

• Negligible water absorption

• Excellent weather resistance

Teflon ™ PTFE 8A X is often preferred for molding thick sheets and is sometimes used for ram extrusion of rod and tubing with thicker cross-sections. Properly processed products made from neat Teflon ™ PTFE 8A X provide the superior properties typical of fluoroplastic resins.

Typical Applications
Many end products are fabricated from moldings of Teflon ™ PTFE 8A X, such as:

• Ball valve seats

• Seals

• Discs

• Lab ware

• Pipe linings

• Valves

• Valve plugs

• Ducting

• Expansion bellows

• Piston rings

Thick molded sheets are stock shapes made from Teflon ™ PTFE 8A X.
