Overview of Polytetrafluoroethylene Powder PTFE PowderPolytetrafluoroethylene (Poly tetrafluoroethylene, abbreviated as PTFE), commonly known as "Plastic King", is a high molecular polymer obtained by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene as a monomer. White waxy, translucent, excellent heat and cold resistance, can be used for a long time at -180 ~ 260ºC. This material has the characteristics of acid and alkali resistance and resistance to various organic solvents, and is almost insoluble in all solvents. At the same time, polytetrafluoroethylene has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, and its friction coefficient is extremely low, so it can be used for lubrication, and it has also become an ideal coating for easy cleaning of the inner layer of water pipes.

In addition to being able to react with molten alkali metals, it is not attacked by any substance, even if it is boiled in hydrofluoric acid, aqua regia or fuming sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, it will not change.

2. White, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic powder, commonly known as "Plastic King". Has excellent chemical stability, corrosion resistance, sealing, high lubricating non-stick properties, electrical insulation and good aging resistance. High temperature resistance, working temperature up to 250 ℃. Low temperature resistance, good mechanical toughness at low temperature, can maintain 5% elongation even if the temperature drops to -196 ℃. Corrosion resistant, inert to most chemicals and solvents, resistant to strong acids and alkalis, water and various organic solvents. Good weather resistance and the best aging life in plastics. High lubrication, the lowest coefficient of friction among solid materials. Non-adhesion is the smallest surface tension of solid materials, and does not adhere to any substances. Non-toxic, physiologically inert, long-term implantation into the body as artificial blood vessels and organs without adverse reactions

How is Polytetrafluoroethylene Powder PTFE Powder Produced?

1. Preparation of monomeric tetrafluoroethylene

In industry, chloroform is used as raw material, and chloroform is fluorinated with anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, the reaction temperature is above 65ºC, antimony pentachloride is used as catalyst, and finally tetrafluoroethylene is prepared by thermal cracking method. Tetrafluoroethylene can also be obtained by reacting zinc with tetrafluorodichloroethane at high temperature.

2. Preparation of PTFE

In enamel or stainless steel polymerization kettle, using water as medium, potassium persulfate as initiator, ammonium perfluorocarboxylate as dispersant, fluorocarbon as stabilizer, tetrafluoroethylene is prepared by redox polymerization. vinyl.

Add various additives into the reaction kettle, the tetrafluoroethylene monomer enters the polymerization kettle in the gas phase, adjust the temperature in the kettle to 25℃, then add a certain amount of activator (sodium metabisulfite), and initiate the polymerization through the redox system. During the polymerization process, the monomer was continuously added to maintain the polymerization pressure of 0.49-0.78MPa. The dispersion obtained after polymerization was diluted with water to a certain concentration, and the temperature was adjusted to 15-20ºC. After coagulation with mechanical stirring, washed with water and dried, namely This product is a fine granular resin.

FAQ

Q1

What are the physical properties of PTFE powder?

Answer: PTFE powder has extremely low friction coefficient, good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. It has a high melting point and good thermal stability, and can be used for a long time in the temperature range of -200°C to +260°C. In addition, PTFE powder also has excellent chemical stability and electrical insulation.

Q2

What are the chemical properties of PTFE powder?

Answer: PTFE powder shows good stability to most chemicals and solvents at room temperature and is almost insoluble in all solvents. However, at high temperatures it may react with some strong oxidizing agents.

Q3

How does the purity of PTFE powder affect its performance?

Answer: The purity of PTFE powder has an important impact on its performance. High-purity PTFE powder has better physical and chemical stability, such as higher melting point, lower friction coefficient and better insulation properties. Therefore, the raw material quality and preparation process need to be strictly controlled during the production process to obtain high-purity PTFE powder.

Q4

How to handle and process PTFE powder?

Answer: PTFE powder is more difficult to process because it flows easily at high temperatures and does not stick easily. Usually, PTFE powder needs to be mixed with other materials or additives added to improve its processing properties. Common processing methods include molding, extrusion, injection molding, etc.
