Polytetrafluoroethylene automotive applications

When an automotive chemist chooses a polymer for dynamic sealing, he or she will have to consider the conditions present in Table 6.1. The two main polymers utilized today for these applications are the thermoset polyimides and polyetheretherketones. Polytetrafluoroethylene is also used for less severe applications. Wear test data are collected on an apparatus in which three circular pins of the polymer being examined... 

One of the important applications of fine powder polytetrafluoroethylene is wire insulation primarily for automotive, aerospace, and industrial appli-... 

Applications of fluoropolymers are still growing, even decades after the discovery of the first plastic (polytetrafluoroethylene) in this family. The increasing use of fluoropolymers in such dynamic industries as wire and cable insulation, automotive, aerospace, oil and gas recovery, and semiconductor manufacture has led to significant material developments and trends in the last few years. New fluoropolymers have been introduced to the market (amorphous fluoroplastics, modified PTFE, low-temperature fluoroelastomers, and amine-resistant fluo-... 

Blends of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are replacing metals in applications such as gaskets, bearings, and piston rings in automotive engines. The Polycomp R range of LNP Corporation includes...
