Quadant EPP's enhanced PTFE materials
Fluorosint® materials are a family of PTFE products developed specifically to meet and exceed the needs in demanding bearing and seal applications. Previous attempts were not meeting the needs which included extreme wear and chemical resistance,
The unique properties of Fluorosint® are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to 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. Each Fluorosint® material was specifically developed to excel in demanding bearing and seal applications. While each of these materials possess the chemical resistance and compliance of PTFE, each material offers some special benefits that give the designer clear performance advantages.
