PTFE Material Introduction PTFE, also known as Polytetrafluoroethylene, is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, a fluorocarbon monomer. It is a thermoplastic polymer that has exceptional chemical and thermal resistance properties. PTFE is commonly known by the brand name Teflon, which is a trademark of Chemours, formally known as DuPont. PTFE components are widely used […]
Deflashing Phenolic Parts What is Phenolic Resin? Phenolic resin is a synthetic polymer made from the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. It is a thermosetting resin that can be cured by heat to form a hard and durable material. Phenolic resins have a wide range of applications due to their excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, […]
What is Kalrez? Kalrez is a high-performance elastomer material developed and manufactured by DuPont. It is a type of perfluoroelastomer, which means it is made up of a blend of fluorinated monomers that exhibit exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and aggressive fluids. Kalrez seals are widely used in various industrial applications where reliability, […]
Liquid Silicone Rubber Overview Liquid Silicone Rubber, also known as LSR, is a synthetic elastomer made from silicone, a polymer consisting of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. LSR is often used in manufacturing applications that require parts have characteristics including high thermal stability, excellent electrical insulation, and resistance to weathering, UV light, and chemicals. […]
