Our Graphite Filled PTFE Parts combine the excellent chemical resistance and low-friction properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with the improved wear resistance, dimensional stability, and thermal conductivity provided by graphite filler.
Compared with virgin PTFE, graphite filled PTFE parts are better suited for demanding sliding, sealing, bearing, and mechanical applications where improved wear performance and resistance to deformation under load are required.
Golden Collar can manufacture custom graphite filled PTFE parts in different filler percentages, dimensions, tolerances, and geometries according to customer drawings and application requirements.
Key Features
Improved Wear Resistance:
Graphite reinforcement improves wear performance compared with virgin PTFE, making the material suitable for repeated sliding and dynamic applications.
Low Friction:
The combination of PTFE and graphite provides excellent self-lubricating characteristics and helps reduce friction between mating surfaces.
Improved Thermal Conductivity:
Graphite filler improves heat dissipation compared with unfilled PTFE, which can benefit applications involving friction and elevated temperatures.
Excellent Chemical Resistance:
Graphite filled PTFE retains good resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, and aggressive chemicals.
Improved Creep Resistance:
Graphite reinforcement helps reduce deformation under sustained mechanical loads compared with virgin PTFE.
Improved Dimensional Stability:
Filled PTFE provides better dimensional stability for precision mechanical and sealing components.
Improved Load-Bearing Performance:
Graphite filled PTFE grades can provide improved mechanical performance compared with virgin PTFE, depending on filler content, component design, and operating conditions.
Wide Temperature Stability:
PTFE-based graphite filled materials can typically be used across a broad temperature range, depending on material grade and application conditions.
