10% Graphite Filled PTFE Tube
Graphite is a form of carbon. The flake-like crystals provide a perfect lubrication and reducing wear. Graphite is usually combined with other fillers such as glass and carbon.
What is 10% Graphite Filled PTFE Tube?
10% graphite filled PTFE tube is made of 10% graphite powder blended with 90% PTFE. Graphite has self-lubricating properties which reduce friction. It is generally used in combination with glass or carbon or both. It has good wear resistance due to its flaky form.
10% graphite filled PTFE tube combines the excellent chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, and extreme temperature range of virgin PTFE with a graphite filler providing additional strength and stability. The filler produces a lower coefficient of friction making it a great wear choice for dynamic components.
Features and Advantages
10% graphite filled PTFE tube has good chemically inert, excellent impact resistance, low coefficient of Friction, low moisture absorption and outstanding dielectric properties. It has Lower friction than PTFE in aqueous media.
Applications
10% graphite filled PTFE tube is suitable for use in aqueous media and can be used for bearings, bushings, connectors, insulators, packings, piston rings, pump wear rings, rollers, seals, slides, valves, washers.
