Laminate and Composite

Details

PTFE offers excellent properties which can be improved for the user even further by combining PTFE with different materials. These include metal foils, glass fibers, carbon fibers and metal fabrics, elastomers and/or fully fluorized plastics. Generally speaking, a specific application should be tested to see if even “exotic” composite solutions are possible.

Lining films and laminates for corrosion protection


Films and laminates made of PTFE and TFM are used in chemical equipment engineering and the semi-conductor industry to provide corrosion resistance for containers, tanks and column

Highlights
Outstanding chemical resistance against aggressive media and hot steam
can be used up to 260°Cextremely
high degree of purity
minimal permeation
high-level resistance to tension crack
outstanding weldability

Application examples

large transport containers for acids and lye solutions

storage tanks for process fluids used in the semi-conductor industry
chemical equipment engineering
storage tanks
vacuum-proof process containers
column
pipelines

XYMON – high-strength fiber composite materials


XYMON is a high-strength composite material for applications requiring extremely high strength without significantly compromising chemical resistance.

Highlights

XYMON is a high-strength composite material for applications high E–modulus (5000MPa XYMON UC-1500)
high tear resistance (45MPa XYMON UC-1500)
good chemical resistance

minimal thermal expansion (comparable to steel
high service temperatures

Anwendungsbeispiele
solid cage [spacer] for ball bearings
forkhead for eccentric drives
pump housing for painting lines
pump wheel for medical technology
flange for reactors
spacer for pipe assembly-heat exchangers
media-lubricated friction bearing [journal]

Physical data

Sliding films with metal grid reinforcement

Highly abrasion-resistant PTFE compounds are reinforced with metal fabrics. The reinforced sliding films excel in extremely small deformation under load.

Highlights
extremely small deformation under load
high abrasion resistance
outstanding sliding properties
high temperature resistance
easy packaging

Application examples
sliding film for ball bearings
sliding element for door hinges
transport substrate for heavy loads
friction bearings in rotary ovens
food processing machinery (special version available)
