Plastomer Technologies has capabilities of compression molding PTFE rods and cylinders from 1" to 60" diameter. With virtually unlimited tooling combinations, we can provide you with the basic shape that closely matches your finished requirement, minimizing your machining and material loss.
Our Texolon brand material can be customized or enhanced with fillers or reinforcements to meet unique applications. We offer compounds from most fillers including high performance fillers that have been developed to enhance the performance of your product in its application.The features of the standard fillers are as follows:
Glass Fiber: Increases compressive strength, rigidity and wear.
Reduces creep and cold flow
Minimal effect on chemical and electrical properties
Carbon: Increases compressive strength, hardness, wear, and load properties.
Good chemical resistance
Various types and amounts of carbon can be added to alter conductivity
Graphite: Reduces coefficient of friction Reduces initial wear
Increases strength
Molybdenum Disulfide: Increases hardness, stiffness, and wear
Minimal effect on chemical and electrical properties
Bronze: Increases hardness and wear resistance
Increases dimensional stability and compressive strength Not suitable for corrosive or electrical applications
