Description
Teflon ™ PTFE 7A X is a white powder with a small particle size. Its small particle size helps to minimize voids, even at relatively low molding pressures. High bulk density increases the size of moldings possible from a given mold or press opening. Teflon ™ PTFE 7A X is preferred for large moldings requiring optimum mechanical and electrical properties. 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

Properly processed products made from neat Teflon ™ PTFE 7A X provide the superior properties typical of fluoroplastic resins. It’s easy to process, handle, and machine.

Typical Applications
Many end products are fabricated from billets, which include skived film and sheet. It can be used for applications, such as:

• Gaskets

• Mechanical seals

• Shaft bearings

• Piston rings

• Diaphragms

• Packings

• Bridge or pipeline bearing pads

• Electrical insulators

• Expansion bellows

• Chemical linings
