Virgin Molding – F4 PN
Fluoroplast-4 grade PN (F-4PN) is fully fluorinated resin which has an excellent chemical stability, electrical and mechanical properties. The material is a granular powder product designed for usage from small to medium billet compression molding, which is well suited to thin skived film applications requiring excellent physical and electrical properties. Halopolymer PTFE granular powders PN is product of suspension polymerization of TFE subjected to grinding.
Typical applications
General purpose: pipes, tubes, spacers, O-rings, laboratory and chemical equipment. Suitable for skiving sheets and films.
Availability
