Fluorosint® 135

Fluorosint^® 135 is a PTFE material designed to provide the lowest coefficient of friction and deformation for seals, bearings, and washer applications. Designed to improve the performance of compressor piston rings, rider bands, and packaging sets, Fluorosint 135's extremely competitive pricing allows companies to guard against expensive equipment failure and ensure maximum production, longevity, and profitability. 

Product Overview

• High maximum allowable service temperature in air (260°C continuously)
• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance 
• Outstanding UV- and weather resistance
• Inherent low flammability
• Good electrical insulating properties

Fluorosint enhanced PTFE’s unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to virgin PTFE. This bonding results in properties not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. Fluorosint grades offer an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability. 

Engineering Notes.

Due to its unique PTFE matrix, Fluorosint's physical strength characteristics are not as high as other advanced engineering plastics profiled here such as Ketron® PEEK or Duratron® PAI (formerly Torlon® PAI). This compliance/ductility makes it ideal for seats and seals
