what are the benefits of PTFE?
PTFE has many benefits like heat resistance, insulation, chemical resistance, friction, etc. It also has disadvantages like insufficient abrasion resistance and creep resistance. These disadvantages can lead to damaged shaft bearings and load-bearing parts. This problem can be solved by using fillers in the PTFE. PTFE with fillers has modifiable features such as abrasion resistance, creep resistance, thermal conductivity, etc. According to research PTFE with fillers gives about 1000 times stronger abrasion resistance, twice the thermal conductivity, and twice the creep resistance of PTFE with no fillers. The filler of a PTFE should be decided on the basis of the work to be done.
