Description
Teflon ™ PTFE 601 X is a polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder resin used primarily for paste extrusion. Teflon ™ PTFE 601 X offers the excellent combination of properties typical of

Teflon ™ fluoroplastic resins:

• Chemical inertness to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents

• Superior in-use thermal stability (low thermal instability index)

• Exceptional dielectric properties, stable with frequency and temperature

• Toughness and flexibility

• Low coefficient of friction

• Non-stick characteristics

• Negligible moisture absorption

• Excellent weather resistance

• Service temperature up to 260 °C (500 °F)

• Useful properties at –240 °C (–400 °F)

• Moderate stiffness and high ultimate elongation

Teflon ™ PTFE 601 X is designed for processing at low to medium reduction ratios of 10:1 to 300:1. It is particularly suitable for unsintered stretched products and for sintered products with high mechanical properties.

Teflon ™ PTFE 601 X meets the requirements of ASTM D4895, Type I, Grade 1, Class A.

Typical Applications
Teflon ™ PTFE 601 X is mainly used for unsintered articles, including filter membranes and gaskets.
