PTFE Nanopowder

PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylen)  is a white colored thermoplastic which has a high corrosion and heat resistance. Having significantly low friction coefficient makes it an outstanding material in various applications such as seals, O-rings and gasket etc. Also, it is used with other polymers or used as a reinforcing material in composites for special applications. Since it is hydrophobic material, it is also a non-wetting material. PTFE  nanopowder  has a structure that is made up of only fluorine and carbon atoms shown in the Figure 1. Another important property of PTFE is that can be extruded easily which makes it convenient in shaping operations such as insulation of electric wires and unsintered tapes. Properties of PTFE Nanopowder Thermal Properties:  Due to its high crystalline arrangement of carbon and fluorine atoms, PTFE has high thermal stability and has a high melting point of approximately 342°C. This property allows high temperature shaping operations...
