History
has shown that Tetron is resistant
to practically every chemical
known to
man. It has a surface as slippery as
ice, to which no substance will adhere
(unless specially treated). Tetron
will operate continuously at 260° C
in harsh conditions for long periods.
It
will not degrade when exposed to long-term
sunlight. This means that mechanical
applications calling for components
that operate in harsh environments
are no
longer the exclusive domain of metals.
Available
as sheet, rod, tube, tape and machined
components,
Tetron S has
a hardness
of 61 units shore D, a dielectric
strength of 59KV/mm with a static
coefficient
of friction of 0.05-0.08 against
polished steel at 23°C.

Tetron
S is capable in its own right, but
when fillers are added it enhances
the material to more fully exploit
the unique combination of chemical,
physical and electrical properties.
As the need for demanding uses emerge,
Tetron S PTFE can be customised by
the addition of fillers to create
PTFE compounds to suit customer’s
requirements. |

Tetron S is the chemically inert
standard material, Tetron G is
glass filled, Tetron C is carbon
filled, Tetron B is bronze filled
and Tetron GR is glass graphite
filled.
The characteristics of Tetron surpass
those of conventional insulating
materials even at elevated temperatures
and frequencies.
This is a feature that is seeing
Tetron pin insulators increasingly
used in high frequency cable plugs
for coaxial cables. As Tetron absorbs
no moisture, parts customised
from Tetron maintain integrity
throughout
an entire service life.

All of this means Tetron S is a
very cool customer when the heat
and pressure
is on, and as a result, a very good
engineering material for a wide variety
of industries. These include: automotive,
chemical, engineering, electrical
and electronics, food, manufacturing,
materials handling, mining and resources,
mineral processing, primary product
processing, pulp and paper, safety
and waste water.
