Moldflon
Moldflon™ is a new thermoplastic
material which regarding its
chemical composition widely
corresponds with conventional PTFE.
The Moldflon™ innovation is the
ability to process PTFE by injection
moulding, a new dimension
concerning cost effectiveness and
large volume PTFE-production.
Moldflon™ combining the superior material properties of PTFE with highly
economical processing techniques of fluoro thermoplasts.
Moldflon™ can be processed utilizing the following processing technologies:
Injection moulding
- (Pump, valve) bodies
- Gearwheels
- Switches
- Seals, gaskets
- Expansion joints
- Insulators
- Sensors
- Tailormade parts
Material composites
- Laminates
- Containers, vessels
- Linings
Powder coating
- Sheets
- Rolls
- Tailormade parts
- Chemical) reactors
Extrusion
- Endless profiles
- Fibers
- Films
- Diaphragms
- Tubes/Pipes
- Cable insulations
Transfer moulding
Blow moulding/Deep drawing
- Bellows
- Containers, vessels
- Bottles
- Bowls
- Convoluted tubes
Surface modification
- Chemical etching
- Plasma activation
Reduced cold flow and high temperature
resistance are favourite properties of Moldflon™. Due to its innovative polymer composition,
Moldflon™ shows lower reduced cold flow properties even compared to compounds
based on modified PTFE. This is achieved without the need of accepting the
wellknown disadvantages of PTFE compound fillers. Among these disadvantages
are the limited chemical resistance, enhanced porosity, reduced compliance
to specific requirements of applications in the presence of food, oxygen or
other critical environment. In respect to chemical resistance, antiadhesiveness,
durability as well as electrical insulation Moldflon™ is at the same level as PTFE
Broader design options allow the realisation
of more complex
parts. Due to the
enhanced service
temperature range of
Moldflon™ the existing
field of applications
for fluorothermoplastic
materials is
expanded significantly.
Due to its specific
property profile Moldflon™ preferable
should be applied for
applications with
high thermal, chemical,
electrical or even
mechanical demands.
