Polytetrafluoroethylene thermoplastic resin

The most widely used thermoplastic resins used in cables are polyvinyl chloride (in various forms), polyethylene (in several forms), polypropylene and polytetrafluoroethylene. [Pg.188]

Plastics. Almost all commercial plastics find some use both dry and lubricated for sliding at low speeds and light loads the most commonly used thermoplastics are nylon, acetal resins, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Typical thermosetting resins for bearing appHcations are phenoHcs, polyesters, and polyimides. Table 8 compares the characteristics of plastic bearing materials with those of graphite, wood, and mbber which find use in somewhat similar appHcations. [Pg.6]

Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) (PTFE) is the most corrosion-resistant thermoplastic polymer. This polymer is resistant to practically every known chemical or solvent combination and has the highest useful temperature of commercially available polymers. It retains its properties up to 500°F (260°C). Because of its exceedingly high molecular weight PTFE is processed by sintering. The PTFE resin is compressed into shapes under high pressure at room temperature and then heated to 700°F (371°C) to complete the sintering process. [Pg.37]

Literally removal , but applied particularly in space technology to the process of using up the frictional heat developed on re-entry of the vehicle into the Earth s atmosphere by degradation of the heat shield. Certain thermoplastics, thermosetting resins and polytetrafluoroethylene have been evaluated as ablative materials. [Pg.11]

Fluorocarbon Resins. This term includes polytetrafluoroethylene, polymers of chloro-trifluoroethylene (fluorothene), vinylidene fluoride (H2C CF2)j hexafluoropropylene (C3Ffl) and similar compds. These polymers are thermoplastic, inert to chemicals and oxidation. They have high heat stability, retain their useful props at both extremely low and high temps, have high electrical resistance to moisture. The materials are available as re sins, powders, and dispersions, and as films, sheets, tubes, rods and tapes. Some of them are rubber-like. Commercially available varieties are Kel-F , Teflon , Fluorel , Aclar and "Halon ... [Pg.520]

Substrates used included fiber-reinforced epoxy base polymer [FRP], nylon 66, polytetrafluoroethylene [Teflon], poly(ethylene terephthalate) [PET], phenolic resin, and thermoplastic polyimide [ULTEM, GE]. FRPs were the primary substrates used. Initially, they were cleaned with detergent in an ultrasonic bath followed by rinsing with deionized water and alcohol. For further cleaning, they were treated with oxygen plasma (1.33 seem, 60 W, 5 min) followed by a hydrogen plasma treatment (3 seem, 60 W, 5 min). [Pg.451]

Skiving skiv-ipi vf skived skiving [prob. of Scand origin akin to ON skifa to slice] (ca. 1825) Slicing off a thin layer. Skiving is the method by which veneers are cut from logs and by which polytetrafluoroethylene film is produced from cylindrical bars of ram-extruded or sinter-molded resin. PTFE film is made in this way because, unlike most thermoplastics, it cannot be directly extruded into film. [Pg.670]
