AKU®-FLON PCTFE ROUND BARS or FULL BARS in PCTFE untempered

PCTFE, like other fluoroplastics, is highly resistant to most chemicals.
In addition, PCTFE has the highest hardness, strength, and rigidity among fluoroplastics. PCTFE is dimensionally stable, very easy to machine, and can be used in a wide temperature range (approximately -240°C to +205°C).
PCTFE is used in unique properties in apparatus engineering (pumps, compressors, extreme cryogenic applications, seals).

Extruded rods, only those with a length of 1000 mm, have all plus tolerances for the diameter.

Pressed rods with the stated outside diameters are tool dimensions, i.e. the actual semi-finished product dimensions are smaller by the material-specific shrinkage of 0.5 %.

If the rods are to be annealed, then a total shrinkage of 1.6% must be expected!

Polychlorotrifluoroethylene

PCTFE for short, is a thermoplastic polymer known for its high chemical resistance, low gas permeability and broad temperature resistance. Here is a description for PCTFE:

Properties of PCTFE:

High chemical resistance:
PCTFE exhibits excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, acids, and bases. This property makes it particularly suitable for applications in chemical and aggressive industrial environments.
Low gas permeability:
PCTFE has a very low gas permeability, making it attractive for use in gas and fluid technology. This enables its use in applications where gas barriers are important.
Wide temperature resistance: PCTFE retains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. It can withstand temperatures from around -200 to +150 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for extremely low and high temperatures.
Mechanical strength:
PCTFE exhibits good mechanical strength and is comparatively rigid, making it considerable for structural applications.
Low water absorption:
PCTFE absorbs only small amounts of water, resulting in low moisture absorption and maintaining its electrical properties.
Electrical insulation:
PCTFE is a good insulator and is used in the electrical industry for the production of insulators, cable sheathing, and other electrical components.

Applications of PCTFE:

PCTFE is used in various industrial sectors, including:

Chemical industry: valves, pumps, pipes and fittings due to its chemical resistance.
Gas and fluid technology: Seals, valves and components in applications where low gas permeability is important.
Aerospace: Insulation materials, valves and parts in extreme temperature applications.
Electrical industry: insulators, cable sheathing and other electrical components.

Due to its specific properties, PCTFE is a preferred material in industries where high demands are placed on chemical resistance and temperature stability .
