Description:
PCTFE is made from chlorotrifluoroethylene by suspension-polymerization or by emulsion-polymerization with a redox-indicator or a peroxide as starting reagent. PCTFE is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic. This material can be process by extrusion or injection moulding in temperature range of 280-350°C. (however at 280°C decomposition of the material begins) The properties of PCTFE are similar to that of PTFE, however PCTFE is harder and less durable compared with PTFE. PCTFE offers a unique combination between physical and chemical properties (not flammable, chemical resistant, excellent electrical properties) which can not be found in any other fluoropolymer. PCTFE is applicable in a wide temperature range (-240°C – 204°C).
Usage:
- Sealing- and slip elements in the chemical apparatus engineering
- laboratory apparatus
- fittings
- tubes
- gauge-glass
- as coating-material for vessels
- for the production of plates, foils and clips
- as envelope for filaments and cables
- foil-material for waterproof packaging of high-grade goods
- as component in low-temperature coolers (low temperature usage)
- for gaskets (o-rings, v-rings, special-gaskets for superchargers and pumps)
- as film for food- or pharmaceutical packaging or electro-luminescence displays
- insulation-material for cables
- valve-production
