This grade is ideal for dry-running or intermittently lubricated systems, such as pumps, valve components, slide rings, and dynamic seals.
Graphite Filled PTFE is a high-performance compound made by incorporating fine graphite powder into the PTFE matrix. Graphite acts as a solid lubricant, reducing surface friction and enabling the PTFE to withstand demanding motion, pressure, and temperature cycling without deformation or excessive wear.
This blend is optimal for dynamic applications requiring smooth movement, minimal heat buildup, and extended component life.
