Fluorosint™ 500 is a mica-reinforced PTFE sheet designed for applications requiring exceptional dimensional accuracy and durability. Its mica content provides up to 9 times the load-deformation resistance of standard PTFE, along with enhanced wear resistance, making it ideal for demanding sealing tasks.
This material also boasts outstanding chemical and hydrolytic stability, coupled with superior mechanical and tribological characteristics. Its thermal expansion closely matches that of aluminium, only a quarter of that of virgin PTFE, making it a preferred choice for engineers addressing tight-fitting and clearance challenges.
Fluorosint™ 500 is also offered in rod and tube formats, with machining services available to meet bespoke specifications.
Applications
Widely utilised across sectors such as aerospace, food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals, Fluorosint™ 500 mica-filled PTFE sheet excels in sealing roles where chemical resistance, dimensional stability, low friction, and wear resistance are critical for reliable performance.
