High performance Tetron valves and seals offer strong import alternatives

As ever-greater durability and reliability is demanded of pumps, valves and seals, engineers are turning to high performance plastics to deliver the extreme versatility required.

Tetron PTFE products are broadly applicable to uses as seals, seats, packings, chevrons, piston rings, glide rings, lantern rings, back up rings, slide bearings and electrical and thermal insulators.

Custom engineered at Dotmar EPP, Ticomp S is a crystalline polymer filled fluorocarbon to provide the performance required in these situations. This material is a reliable handler of acid and caustic soda transfer in the food and chemicals industries when used in shaft sleeves of stainless steel pumps to reduce excessive wear of shafts and housings.

FDA-compliant Ticomp S performs in pumps and valves with a chemical resistance spectrum almost the same as virgin PTFE. High crystalline polymer provides a yield stress of 29 MPa, elongation of 305% and a Hardness Shore 64D.

Applications that demand outstanding wear properties against soft counter faces, for example, are now being met by specially modified Fluoropolymer (PTFE) Ticomp S instead of traditional metals.

The Tetron range includes Tetron S as the chemically inert virgin material; Tetron G is glass filled, Tetron C is carbon filled; Tetron B is bronze filled; Tetron GR is filled with glass graphite, and Tetron T and Ticomp S Series are modified for special applications.

“As they absorb no moisture, parts customised from Tetron maintain integrity throughout an entire service life.”
