Tetron is resistant to practically every
chemical known to man. They have a surface as slippery as
ice, to which no substance will adhere (unless specially treated).
Tetron will operate continuously at 260° C in harsh conditions
for long periods. It will not degrade when exposed to long-term
sunlight.
A new member of the Teflon family with even
more useful characteristics is TETCO V (formally known as
Tetron T), a modified PTFE that fills the gap between conventional
PTFE and melt-processable PFA. TETCO V thus extends the range
and versatility of engineering plastics available from Dotmar
EPP.

Improved Properties
With TETCO V, a number of properties of traditional
PTFE have been improved by modifying the polymer chain.
This means TETCO V is distinguishable by:
- Excellent weldability
- Lower deformation under load
- Low permeability

Applications for TETCO V
|
|
Available as sheet, rod, tube
or machined parts, TETCO V has a tensile strength of 36MPa,
a hardness of 59 units Shore D, a dielectric strength of 95
KV/mm, with high surface resistivity and elevated flammability
flash point (530° C). |

All of which means it is a very cool customer when the heat
and pressure is on, and as a result, a very good engineering
material for a wide variety of industries. These include:
automotive, chemical, engineering, electrical and electronics,
food, manufacturing, materials handling, mining and resources,
mineral processing, primary product processing, pulp and paper,
safety and waste water.
