Tefzel
Tefzel fluoropolymer is a proven performer in the chemical and petrochemical
processing industries. Its unique combination of properties and
design versatility are helping to solve some of the toughest materials
problems in process equipment and components.
Tefzel provides excellent resistance to attack by chemicals and solvents
which can cause rapid deterioration of other plastics and all
but the most costly metal alloys. Tefzel is inert to strong mineral acids, inorganic bases, halogens,
and metal salt solutions. Even carboxylic acids, anhydrides, aromatic
and aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers,
esters, chlorocarbons, and classic polymer solvents have little
effect on Tefzel. However, very strong oxidizing acids, such as highly concentrated
nitric acid, will affect Tefzel in varying degrees. Organic bases such as amines and sulfonic
acids will also affect Tefzel.
Tefzel also has excellent mechanical strength, stiffness, and abrasion
resistance. This may be an important consideration for process
applications where abrasive slurries often accelerate wear and
degradation of alternative materials. Tefzel can also be reinforced with glass fibers to increase the flexural
modulus to 95,000 psi.
Tefzel has a broad continuous use temperature range from -370 degrees
F/-223 degrees C to +300 degrees F/+150 degrees C.
