PTFE Powder CGF-218
(for making seal tapes by paste extrusion)


Latest update: May 2006

Molecular Formula: [CF2--CF2]n
CAS No. 9002-84-0

Description :

In addtion to all excellent properties of PTFE material, CGF-218 series powders has outstanding performance in  paste extrusion to manufacture sealing tape, etc.. The resin are processed by mixing them with some organic solvents to obtain paste which are made into coherent, smooth and flat semifinished products after ram extrusion. Druing this progression the extruding pressure remains steady .The semifinished products can be further processed to produce unsintered tape by calendering, enlongating and removing solvent with heat, and also to manufacture sintered coherent thin-walled tubing , continuous long rod, and  wire & cable coating, etc..
