Style KXT COU98-23-2 23% Carbon with 2% Graphite Filled Teflon PTFE tube
23% carbon powder filled PTFE tube has good chemical resistance to corrosive environments, has better creep & wear resistance compared to pure PTFE materials. These properties are improved with the addition of a carbon fiber powder. This filler improves dimensional stability, to raise the heat deflection temperature, improves creep resistance & the dynamic bearing performance. PTFE Carbon Filled Tube exhibits good initial wear and rubbing or sliding contact characteristics in both dry or water applications. It's often used in piston rings to reduce cylinder wall wear by entrapping abrasive outside particles in their relatively soft surface
Graphite filler lowers the coefficient of friction and Graphite filled PTFE has excellent self lubricating properties. It can be combined with either carbon or glass or even both to reap the combined benefits of all three fillers.
Advantages:
• Carbon enhance the creep and wear resistance to standard PTFE
• Extremely good chemical resistance against virtually all media
• Moderately electrical conductivity
• Good sliding properties
• Creep resistance
• Anti-static
Application:
• Pump and instrument construction
• Food and medical technology
• Chemical engineering parts
• Electrical industry
• Pump housings
• Shaft bearings
• Valve seats
