PTFE
Polytetrafluoroethylene
PTFE is a fluorocarbon-based polymer that offers a good combination of mechanical, electrical, chemical, temperature and friction-resistant properties that make it the material of choice in many extreme operating environments.
With a continuous use temperature of 500° F (260 C), virtually universal chemical resistance, a volume resistivity of greater than 10×18 ohm-cm, and a coefficient of friction of 0.02 to 0.10, PTFE offers performance not obtainable in any other material.
PTFE’s unique high performance properties are proven across a broad range of components and industries.
Jade produces a wide variety of parts using 3M/Dyneon™ fluoropolymer resins.
Jade also uses AGC Chemicals as one of its suppliers for PTFE resin.
Filled PTFE
PTFE’s mechanical properties are often enhanced by the addition of fillers ranging from glass, carbon and metal.
JLON® JADE’S PREMIER RULON EQUIVALENT
JLON® is our proprietary family of PTFE that incorporates one or more fillers into PTFE resin and provides superior performance in a given application or environment.
- Improved wear resistance
- Enhanced creep resistance
- Increased compressive strength
- Increased thermal conductivity
- Increased hardness
- Reduced coefficient of thermal expansion
