Flurosint (Fluoropolymer)

Fluorosint® is a fluoropolymer composed of virgin ptfe which is re-inforced with a synthetic mica filler.

This chemical bonding results in a load-carrying capacity and thermal expansion rate not normally attainable in re-inforced ptfe.

Fluorosint® has excellent mechanical and tribological properties. One of its main characteristics is a very high maximum allowable service temperature in air of 260°C continuously.

Fluorosint® is available in 2 formulations:-
(1) Fluorosint® 500 has 9 times greater resistance to deformation under load than unfilled ptfe. Its co-efficient of linear thermal expansion approaches the expansion rate of aluminium, and is 1/5th that of virgin ptfe, which almost eliminates clearance and fit allowances. It is considerably harder than virgin ptfe, has better wear characteristics and maintains low friction properties.
It is also non-abrasive to most mating materials.
(2) Fluorosint® 207 has a raw material composition which meets the requirements of EU/FDA regulations concerning plastics which come into contact with foodstuffs. In combination with the good mechanical performance of Fluorosint® and its outstanding chemical and hydrolysis resistance, this feature opens numerous possibilities in food, pharmaceutical and medical applications.

Temperature range: -130°C to +260°C
