What is suspended ptfe and dispersed ptfe?

Due to the different polymerization methods of ptfe, there are suspension materials (suspension polymerization) and dispersion materials (dispersion polymerization), namely suspension ptfe, disperse ptfe, the processing methods of the two materials are also different.

Suspended material (suspended polytetrafluoroethylene)

Its main forming method is die pressing method, that is, white powder without a little additive, then die pressing forming, sintering above its melting point temperature, and then through appropriate mechanical processing into products, the representative products for the plate, bar, tube, film four categories.

Dispersion material (ptfe)

PTFE fine powder prepared by dispersion polymerization method is generally referred to as "dispersion".Because of the fibrotic properties of this fine powder, especially at temperatures above 20℃, it is recommended to store, transport and mix the material at 5 ~ 10℃.The forming method of this kind of material is to use an auxiliary agent (usually petroleum ether or gasoline) and powder after mixing in the environment of 24℃ or more for about 24h (complete the crystal phase change) and then forming, with the piston extrusion forming, drying, burning.This processing method is commonly known as paste extrusion, also known as push.

Due to the dispersion of fine powder particle size, divided into several grades of specifications, different specifications have different compression ratio characteristics.Compression ratio of less than 100, generally used to produce raw material and microporous tape;Low compression ratio of less than 500, used to produce medium and large specification products;500 ~ 2000 is medium compression ratio.2000 ~ 4400 is high compression ratio material, this material is suitable for the production of thin wall thin line, can continuously large length and high efficiency production.

Identification method: the main difference is the particle size of the two are not the same.Suspension material is coarse, dispersion material is fine.

What is expanded tetrafluoroethylene seal tape?

Expanded tetrafluoron sealing belt is made of pure Polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion resin, which is stretched at high temperature through lamination.it has low friction coefficient, good resistance to chemical corrosion and airtightness, and can be used at the temperature of -250℃--+280℃ for the sealing of reaction kettle, steam transmission generator and all kinds of special-shaped cans and drums.

 The expanded tetrafluoroethylene sealing tape can be pasted on the flange sealing surface.Flange sealing part under medium and low pressure is an economical and practical sealing material.

 The expanded tetrafluoroethylene sealing belt retains the chemical corrosion resistance of ptfe, and at the same time, it has flexibility, compression strength, excellent creep resistance, cold flow resistance and tensile strength.

 

Production process and application of ptfe film

Ptfe film processing equipment will use a Isostatic Moulding Press Machine, Isostatic Moulding Press Machine production bar, and then sintering, finally using a Skiving Machine for Skiving.

Ptfe films are mainly divided into two types: microporous film and turning film.The biggest difference between the two is the permeability of microporous membrane, which is produced by biaxial stretching.Turning film is cut out of the lathe, it does not breathe.

I do not know about turning film, know that it should be used on the seal more.We're going to talk about microporous membranes.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) microporous film is made of polytetrafluoroethylene resin particles, which is expanded and stretched to form a microporous film. It can be divided into the following categories:

 

1. Air filtration membrane

Polytetrafluoroethylene membranes can be used for atmospheric dust removal, air purification and so on the membrane pore size can be controlled 0.2 um, porosity can reach more than 88%, and the needle felt, mechanism of cloth, non-woven fabric, glass fiber and other filter material with surface phase composite filtering performance of coated fabric, PTFE coated filter material has high peel strength, air volume, uniform pore size distribution, etc.As a dust bag or fold type dust removal filter cartridge installed within the dust removal equipment, will be promptly and efficiently calculated intercept with micron ultra fine dust, dust removal efficiency can reach more than 99.99%, the service life for three years, ventilation rate of up to 3-6 m/min, is currently the world's most advanced air filtration material, all kinds of vacuum cleaners, air filter, air purification equipment, the best choice for high efficiency air filter, etc.

Technical parameters are as follows:

Thickness: 5 um - 15 um

Air permeability: 80-100l /㎡•s

Width: 1800 mm or less

Resistance: pa 80 or less

Efficiency: 99.99%

 

2. Waterproof and moisture-permeable microporous membrane

Ptfe waterproof moisture permeable microporous membrane is made and approved by a special process the bidirectional tensile membrane surface per square inch can reach billions of a microporous, each pore diameter (0.5 to 0.1 um um) is less than the minimum water molecules in the mist of the minimum value (20 UN um - 100), the diameter greater than the water vapor molecules (0.0004 to 0.0003 um um), the water vapor through the water, and cannot pass, take advantage of the microporous structure can achieve excellent waterproof and moisture permeable function;In addition, because the hole is extremely small and longitudinal irregular bending arrangement, so that the wind can not pass through, and thus has good wind protection and heat preservation characteristics.Since the advent of the membrane through continuous improvement, special treatment on the PTFE film, its fastness and durability greatly improved, after composite with other fabrics, widely used in the greenwood clothing, medical clothing, leisure clothing, fire control, chemical protective, antivirus, flooding operation, such as special protective clothing, outdoor sports clothing, shoes and hats, gloves and other accessories as well as sleeping bags, tents and other materials

Technical parameters are as follows:

Thickness: um 20-50 um

Moisture permeability: 16000g/㎡•24hr

Hydrostatic pressure: 6000mm

Extreme uv resistance: 97 highest

Width: 1700 mm or less

G: 5-10 g/m2

 

3. teflon bubble point film

It with polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) as raw material, after puffing stretch forming a kind of microporous membrane, the membrane with a special process combined with on all kinds of fabric and base material, become a new type of filtration material, the membrane pore size is small, about 0.2 to 0.5 mu m, uniform distribution, porosity, while maintain the air circulation, can filter all of the dust particles, including bacteria, achieve the goal of advanced purification and ventilation, it is widely used in pharmaceutical, biochemical, microelectronics and laboratory consumables, etc.

Technical parameters:

Thickness width bubble point

What is the PFA

I. What is the PFA?

The English name of PFA is Polyfluoroalkoxy, or tetrafluoroethylene perfluoroalkoxyethylene ether copolymer (perfluoroalkylate, soluble polytetrafluoroethylene).PFA resin is relatively new fluoroplastic that can be processed by melting. PFA, FEP and PTFE have similar chemical properties, but FEP can only be used below 200 degrees, and PTFE cannot be injected. 【this resource was first published by China fluoroplastics network.】

1. Specific gravity: 2.13-2.167g/cubic centimeter

2. Molding shrinkage rate :3.1-7.7%

3. Molding temperature: 350-400℃

4. The melting point of PFA is about 580F and the density is 2.13-2.16g /cc (g/ cubic centimeter).

II. Features and main USES of PFA

PFA, commonly known as fusible PTFE, is the crown of fluoroplastics with various properties and USES similar to FEP.Widely used in semiconductor industry, as well as medical, chemical corrosion protection, automotive and other fields.

PFA products include granular products for molding and extrusion, and powdery products for rotating molding and coating.Its semi-finished products are membrane, plate, rod and pipe.PFA resin distributed in the American market includes Teflon of DUPOut, Neoflon of Daikin, Hthen of Ansimont and Hostafl of HOechst Celanese.

1. Main USES of PFA:

(1). Suitable for making corrosion resistant parts, wear - resistant parts, seals, insulation parts and medical equipment parts.

(2). High temperature wire, cable insulation layer, anti-corrosion equipment, sealing materials, pump valve bushing, and chemical containers.

2. Molding performance

(1). Crystallization material, small moisture absorption.Products may be processed by the usual thermoplastic processing method.

(2). Poor liquidity, easy decomposition, decomposition produced corrosion gas.It is advisable to strictly control the molding temperature not to exceed 475 degrees, the mold should be heated to 150-200 degrees, the pouring system should have little resistance to the material flow.

(3). Translucent granule, injection molding, extrusion molding.Forming temperature 350-400 degrees, 475 degrees above easy to cause color or bubble.And notice that it's harder to get out of the mold.

(4). Because the molten material on the metal corrosion effect, long-term production, the mold needs to electroplate chromium treatment.

3. Material performance

1. PFA is a copolymer of a small amount of perfluoropropyl perfluoroethylene ether and polytetrafluoroethylene.The melt bond is increased, the solution viscosity is decreased, and the performance is not changed compared with ptfe.The resin can be processed into products directly by ordinary thermoplastic molding.

2. long-term use temperature -80- 260 degrees, excellent chemical corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance to all chemicals, friction coefficient in the lowest plastic, and very good electrical performance, its electrical insulation is not affected by temperature, "plastic king" said.

3. Its chemical resistance is similar to ptfe and better than vinylidene fluoride.

4. Its creep resistance and compression strength are better than ptfe, with high tensile strength and elongation up to 100-300%.Good dielectric property, excellent radiation resistance.

5. non-toxic: with physiological inertia, can be implanted in the human body.
