If your application demands good thermal and electrical conductivity, 60% Bronze Filled PTFE Tube may be ideal. Adding bronze to PTFE also improves wear resistance. However, bronze attenuates the non-stick properties and chemical inertness of the PTFE, so you should consider whether these are important for your particular situation. Other metals such as titanium, nickel, or stainless steel (as described above) may also be chosen as fillers due to their specific properties
Style KXT BU980-60 60% Bronze Powder Filled Teflon PTFE Tube
60% Bronze Powder Filled Teflon PTFE Tube, this bronze powder filler has better wear, creep resistance, and higher thermal conductivity than glass fiber with PTFE. The compound is easily machined, but has poor chemical resistance in the presence of acids and alkali. Bronze powder filled PTFE is useful in applications which undergo high mechanical loads or high-speed rubbing contacts where the bronze filler supplies the strength and conductivity to carry away excess, unwanted heat
Advantages:
• The best wear properties of any filled PTFE
• Very heavy – high specific gravity
• Extremely hard wearing material
• Great deformation strengths
• Good thermal conductivity
• Electrically conductive
Application:
• Linear bearings
• Hydraulic seals
• Extrusion rings
• Piston Rings
• Guide ways
• Wear pads
• Bushings
• Bearings
• Sliders
