Stainless Steel Filled PTFE Sheet
- Stainless Steel Filled PTFE has enhanced mechanical properties by the use of a 50% by weight (or 15% by volume) stainless steel powder filling.
- The addition of Stainless Steel to PTFE gives better dimensional stability and lowers creep, cold flow and wear. It increases hardness and compressive strength whilst also increasing thermal and electrical conductivity.
- The compound consists of 50% Virgin PTFE and 50% 316L stainless steel.
