Fluorosint® 500

Fluorosint® 500 has nine times greater resistance to deformation under load than unfilled PTFE. Its coefficient of linear thermal expansion approaches the expansion rate of aluminum, and is 1/5 that of PTFE -- often eliminating fit and clearance problems (see Figure 20). It is 1/3 harder than PTFE, has better wear characteristics and maintains low frictional properties. Fluorosint® 500 is also non-abrasive to most mating materials.

Chemical Processing Industry, Oil & Gas

Our machining capability has been field-proven in the manufacture of handling equipment, where processing steps can involve extremes of both thermal and chemical exposure. Since purity is critical to high semiconductor wafer yield, reducing contamination from particulates, outgassing and extractables caused by component deterioration is a major goal of semiconductor fabricators. Through close partnerships with the world's leading OEMs, we develop solutions to improve the efficiencies of their equipment their MTBF by optimizing materials and component designs. With the variety of materials and machining technologies available manufacturers gain product integrity and process purity that is backed by more than a quarter century of success.

Quadrant EPP Fluorosint® 500

Fluorosint's unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to PTFE. This bonding results in properties not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. Fluorosint grades offer an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability.
