PTFE+40%Bronze

Advantages

• Ability to add a high percentage of bronze (40-60%) to pure Teflon results in high thermal conductivity and better abrasion resistance.
• Provides the power and conductivity needed to control excessive and unwanted heat.

Disadvantages

• Not suitable for electrical applications.
• Teflon bronze (PTFE + Bronze) is not suitable for oxidation conditions.
• Bronze is attacked by certain chemicals.

Application

• The main application of Teflon bronze in non-oxidizing pressurized conditions such as piston rings and bearings is in the hydraulic system.
• Suitable for guide rings for abrasion purposes.
• They are often used in hydraulic systems and are great exclusively for linear bearings.

Teflon PTFE mixed with 40% bronze is produced and supplied in the form of SHEETS, RODS and TUBES in different dimensions and sizes.
