Fluorosint 207 PTFE used at baby food facility

Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 22, 2010
Quadrant's Fluorosint 207 enhanced PTFE has replaced virgin PTFE in a filling valve/piston used in a baby food production facility.
Fluorosint eliminated inaccurate filling and leakage caused by the instability of the PTFE, which suffered from deflection at the 90C/200F+ operating temperatures.
The mica-filled Fluorosint 207 was chosen as a result of its low coefficient of friction and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, thus improving the dimensional stability and sealing capability of this PTFE-based material.
Fluorosint 207's combination of stability, excellent creep resistance and white colour serve applications where Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance is required.
It is non-permeable in steam and complies with the FDA's 21 CFR 175.300 regulation.
Its relative wear rate is 1/20 the rate of PTFE below 300F (150C), making it suitable for aggressive service bearings, bushings and seals.
