Fluoroplast tape (teflon tape, Fum tape)
Fluoroplast is a unique material obtained by chemical means. Together with the phenomenal inertness of fluoroplastic, it is characterized by low porosity, excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Good mechanical strength is preserved in the temperature range from -190°C to +250°C.
It has a low, almost temperature-independent coefficient of friction, is completely hydrophobic, and is physiologically inert. Its dielectric properties do not change up to 200°С, and its chemical properties - up to 300°С. These properties of the material make products from it irreplaceable in the chemical, electrical, engineering, and food industries. light and medical industry. Porous fluoroplastic tape of all brands has high resistance to aggressive media in the entire range from pH=0 to pH=14(//tractor-service.com)
High heat resistance in combination with excellent dielectric characteristics of the material allows it to be used in the electronics industry for insulation of wires, cables, connectors, production of printed circuit boards, groove insulation of electric machines, as well as in microwave technology. Fluoroplastic tape is intended for the production of anti-friction parts of machine tool construction and other branches of machine building: overhead guides of metal-cutting machines, self-lubricating sliding supports, piston rings.
