Fluorosint Grades

Fluorosint® is a high-performance, reinforced PTFE material that combines the chemical resistance and low friction of PTFE with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. Its various grades and improved performance characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of demanding applications, from industrial seals and bearings to components in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. There are four different types of Fluorosint®:

Fluorosint® 500: Known for its excellent dimensional stability and low deformation under load, making it ideal for precision components.

Fluorosint® 207: Offers the highest chemical resistance and is FDA compliant, suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Fluorosint® 135: Provides the lowest coefficient of friction and is used in applications requiring exceptional wear resistance.

Fluorosint® HPV: Designed for high-pressure and high-velocity applications, offering enhanced performance in dynamic sealing applications.

Fluorosint® Characteristics:

  • Enhanced mechanical strength
  • Improved dimensional stability
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Good thermal performance
  • Electrical insulation

Jump to a specific grade

Fluorosint-500

Fluorosint® 500 is celebrated for its superior dimensional stability. It offers deformation under load that is significantly lower, up to nine times less, than that of unfilled PTFE. This grade also provides excellent resistance to chemicals and can operate continuously at temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). Such qualities make it perfect for applications in sealing where precise dimensional control is essential.

Fluorosint-207

Fluorosint® 207 meets food contact regulations while delivering remarkable dimensional stability and exceptional sliding and wear properties. Known for its incredibly low coefficient of friction, this grade excels in demanding applications like bearings and bushings within the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing sectors.

Shapes Offered


Fluorosint-HPV

Fluorosint® HPV is a high-grade material recognized for its suitability in high-pressure velocity settings. Compliant with FDA standards, it provides outstanding wear resistance and excellent load-bearing capabilities. This grade is particularly beneficial for equipment in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries where both regulatory compliance and high performance are crucial.

Shapes Offered


Fluorosint-MT-01

Fluorosint® MT-01 is designed for use in environments that require exceptional strength, stiffness, and stability at elevated temperatures. This material retains the low-friction properties of PTFE but with enhanced mechanical strength, making it a go-to choice for seals and wear components exposed to high thermal conditions.

Shapes Offered


Fluorosint-135

Fluorosint® 135 stands out for offering the lowest wear rate among Fluorosint grades and demonstrates high chemical inertness. Its applications encompass compressor piston rings, pump and valve wear parts, seals, bearings, thrust washers, rider bands, and packing sets.
