TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW - ePTFE
expanded PTFE / ePTFE as key competence
The technical know-how of KWO® Company results from a more than 30-year experience in the field of fluorinated polymers.
During this period KWO® Company has acquired great scientific understanding of fluorine-based materials, notably in the fabrication of ePTFE and its processing.
The expertise of KWO® Company concerns principally the process of PTFE expansion, during which the synthetic material is converted under certain conditions into a resistant plastic with a fine porosity, being suitable for an almost unrivalled wide range of applications.
PROPERTIES OF PTFE
- high chemical resistance
- high thermal resistance
- flame retardant
- hysiologically inert
- solid white plastic
- anti -adhesive
- low coefficient of friction
- creep tendency
- antibacterial effect
- biocompatibility
PERFORMANCE OF ePTFE
- high tensile strength
- high adaptability
- breathable
- filter characteristics
- endless producable
- density from 0.6 to 1.0 g/cm3
- shapeable / compressable
- easy to cut
- high molecular weight
- high creep resistance
- no caking onto flange
