Coating or film for release materials.
Can be fabricated into thin films and coatings and smooth-surfaced products, and also molded into high performance mechanical parts that can function in severe exposure conditions of high temperature, chemicals and destructive environmental agents.
AF is well suited for fiber optics applications because of its low refractive index and exceptional optical clarity throughout the range from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths.
DuPont has an exclusive agreement with Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Ltd. for the development of high-temperature plastic optical fibers. Their products are marketed under the trademark "ESKA".
Transmitting and sensing data for integrated optics systems.
High permeability membrane applications for gas separation.
We will also consider development activities to help you meet specific needs or develop new applications for future markets.

Teflon® PTFE

Fluorocarbon Fiber

These fibers have an unusually high resistance to chemicals and heat, as well as exceptionally low levels of friction and adhesion. PTFE fibers are processed to a higher degree of molecular orientation than their resin counterpart. Thus the stress-strain properties and resistance to cold flow of the fiber are markedly different from those of the resin. PTFE fiber is available as continuous multifilament yarn, staple, and flock. The textile fibers can be either natural (brown) or bleached (white). Continuous filament products range in size from 200 to 1730 denier. Staple and flock are available in either 3.2 or 6.7 denier. PTFE fiber can be processed on most standard textile equipment.

Uses:

Teflon® PTFE

Fluoropolymer Resin

White granular molding powders.

White powder form, called fine powder.
Aqueous dispersions - milky white emulsions of PTFE particles in water.
Dedustants and fluoroadditives - sometimes referred to as micropowders or lubricating powders (also white in color).

Uses:

Teflon® TFE

Dispersions

A negatively charged hydrophobic colloid with up to 60% by weight of 0.05ľ to 0.5ľ TFE particles suspended in water. Usually a milky-white liquid stabilized by a nonionic wetting agent. Other solid or liquid ingredients are added to provide specific processing or end-product characteristics. The resin particles can be consolidated by heat into a coherent coating or a matrix, or left as particles to modify a process or an end product.

Uses:

Impregnation of woven packing for severe chemical or thermal service
Coated glass fabrics
Electrical insulation
Component of rigid circuit boards
Gaskets
Bearings

Teflon® TFE

Fine Powder
