This material has a food contact compliant composition which, in combination with the good mechanical performance, dimensional stability, sliding and wear properties and inherent outstanding chemical and hydrolysis resistance of Fluorosint, opens numerous application possibilities in food, pharmaceutical and chemical processing industries.
Fluorosint 207 lasts far longer than unfilled PTFE in wear applications and has a very low coefficient of friction. It is a preferred material for lower pressure seats and seals where virgin PTFE fails and food contact compliance may be required.
Additionally, the composition of the raw materials used for the manufacture of Fluorosint 207 stock shapes complies with the regulations of the United States of America [FDA] for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.
