Filled & Reinforced PTFE
Filled PTFE compounds combine PTFE's low friction with enhanced mechanical properties. Glass, carbon, bronze, and graphite fillers available for specific applications.
While virgin PTFE offers the lowest friction of any solid, it has poor wear resistance and creeps under load. Filled PTFE compounds address these limitations with fillers that dramatically improve mechanical properties.
Glass fiber for general improvement, carbon/graphite for wear and thermal conductivity, bronze for thermal and electrical conductivity.
| Glass (15-25%) | General purpose, wear & strength |
| Carbon (25%) | Best wear, thermal conductivity |
| Graphite (15%) | Self-lubricating, FDA compliant |
| Bronze (40-60%) | Thermal & electrical conductivity |
| MoS2 (5%) | Enhanced lubricity |
| Carbon + Graphite | Maximum wear resistance |
