Stainless Steel Filled PTFE
Stainless steel is the other metallic PTFE filler choice when extremely wear resistance to high temperatures is required. Stainless steel is added in in high amounts, usually 50% in weight, which is equivalent to 15% in volume, to improve the thermal conductivity and reduce the deformation under load when Stainless steel-filled PTFE materials are subjected to load at extreme temperatures.
Stainless steel-filled PTFE materials have very good abrasion resistance and compressive strength. Stainless steel-filled PTFE materials are typically used for seats and seals that required high heat and steam applications.
Moreover, stainless steel-filled PTFE materials are highly machinable and comply with FDA and EC regulations, so they are the preferred choice in the food processing industry.
