What are types of fillers and their advantages?
PTFE with Glass Fillers : Glass is the most widely used filler in PTFE. Glass fillers enhance the strength and durability of PTFE. The more the glass filler amount the better the compressive strength of PTFE. If glass-filled PTFE is inert gas sintered the porosity and the tendency to creep will reduce more. Due to its high wear resistance, it is used in hydraulic piston rings. PTFE with Molybdenum Disulfide Fillers: Molybdenum Disulfide or MoS2 becomes more solid as well as smooth when combined with bronze or glass. This filler also improves the wear resistance and compressive strength of PTFE. It is used in dynamic seals. It also lowers the coefficient of friction. PTFE with Carbon Fillers: The electrical conductivity of carbon makes it static dissipative. This conductivity of carbon also makes it applicable for appliances needing higher thermal conductivity. It is less corrosive than glass. It can be used either in the form of powder or fiber. The benefits of ...
