Fluorosint® 207 PTFE

Fluorosint® 207 (colour: white) PTFE's unmatched dimensional stability, excellent creep resistance and white color uniquely position this material to serve FDA regulated applications. It is non-permeable in steam and complies with the FDA's regulation 21 CFR 175.300. Its relative wear rate is 1/20 the rate of PTFE below 150 °C / 300 °F making it an excellent choice for aggressive service bearings and bushings.

Product Overview.

• High maximum allowable service temperature in air (260°C continuously)
• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance 
• Outstanding UV- and weather resistance
• Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact, except Fluorosint 500, Fluorosint MT-01)
• 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.
