How to classify Teflon tape according to the degree of high temperature resistance?

Specifically, if the working environment is just up to about 100℃ and the company does not pay much attention to the quality and service life to Teflon tape, the choice of Teflon tape that temperature resistance reaches 260℃ is a waste.

How to classify Teflon tape according to the degree of high temperature resistance?

If the working environment requires that its temperature resistance is up to 180-260℃, then you must choose the 260℃ Teflon tape.

Therefore, domestic customers are generally divided into above two types except the customers who uses imported rape. Most customers, especially end-use customers, will choose the 260℃ Teflon tape taking into account the degree of temperature resistance and service life, so this kind Teflon tape is more popular in the market.

Teflon coating is a unique high-performance coating that combines heat resistance, chemical inertia, excellent insulation stability and low friction, which has the combined advantages that other coatings cannot compete with, and the flexibility it applies allows it to be used in almost all shapes and sizes of products.

Teflon is divided into several basic types as PTFE, FEP, PFA, ETFE.

1, Teflon PTFE: non-stick PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating can be used continuously in 260 ℃, with a 290-300 ℃maximum temperature, very low friction coefficient, good wear resistance and chemical stability.

2, Teflon FEP: non-stick FEP (ethylene fluoride propylene copolymer) coating melts and forms porous film in baking. It has excellent chemical stability and non-stick characteristics, and the maximum operating temperature is 200℃.

3, Teflon PFA: non-stick PFA (over fluorine alkylation) coating melts and forms porous film in baking. The advantage of PFA is that it has a higher continuous temperature ( 260℃) and stronger toughness, which especially suitable for the high temperature conditions of anti-adhesion and chemical resistance.

4, The Teflon ETFE: ETFE is a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene. That is the toughest fluorine polymer that can form a highly durable coating with excellent chemical resistance, and it can continuous operate at 150 ℃.

After Teflon coating, it has the following characteristics:
1 Non-adhesion: almost all substances are not bonded with Teflon coating even if the coating is very thin membrane.
2 Heat Resistance: Teflon coating has excellent high and low temperature resistance characteristics. It can withstand high temperature to 300 ℃ in short time. And it can be used continuously between 240℃~260℃ with significant thermal stability. What’s more, it will not embrittle at freezing temperature, and will not melt in the high temperature.
3 Sliding: Teflon coating has a low friction coefficient. The friction coefficient changes when the load is sliding, and the coefficient is 0.05-0.15.
4 Moisture Resistance: Teflon coating surface does can keep free from water, oil and solution when operating. If it is sticky a small amount of dirt, simple wipe can removed it. Short downtime can save working hours and increases productivity.
5 Wear Resistance: Teflon coating has excellent wear resistance under high load. And, it has the dual advantages of wear resistance and non-adhesion under a certain load.
6 Corrosion Resistance: Teflon is almost immune from drug erosion, so that it can protect parts from any kind of chemical corrosion.

How to test the viscosity of Teflon tape?

Because there are many suppliers in current market, Teflon tape’s quality is uneven. Most of customers pay attention to its sticky. For example, customers’ will is to use their own hands to test stickiness once getting a roll of tape. In fact, they certainly cannot test for the moisture, booty on their hands. We use steel to do the test in Teflon production, and the surface of the steel need to be very clean, which is a more formal test method. But many customers cannot do such test for the conditions limits. The best way should be glue itself with the face of adhesion, and then pull open. The greater the intensity of the pull, the greater the viscosity.

How to test the viscosity of Teflon tape?

Teflon tape has many characteristics like anti-adhesion, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and so on, so it is widely used in various industries. Teflon tape has a wide variety, different colors, and different price according to different quality. Today, our Taixing, Yong Sheng fluorine Plastic Products Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of Teflon tape. At present, the thickness of Teflon tape is 0.13mm-0.3mm. Their color has coffee, blue, black, and white. And the black is divided into anti-static and non-antistatic. The price is RMB 40 yuan to 60 yuan. Our products are very popular since the listing.

Let us talk about that how long should the Teflon tape to be used, that the problem has been bothering a lot of customers. After testing and technical discussion, we found that the good-quality tape almost will not happen residual glue degumming in half a year. And the slightly low-quality tape that adhesive is not pure will have residual glue when using after half a year. Even in the moment of ripping off, glue has been falling off.

Some customers would like to order the amount of one year at a time. In fact, it is not beneficial for the usage and storage of tape. Tape will evaporate slowly in contact with the air. So the performance of the tape will reduce with the placement time. In order to make full use of Teflon tape, good-quality Teflon tape should be used in half a year, and the slightly low-quality tape should be used as soon as possible.

Please replace Teflon tape from Taizhou Co., Ltd. after a period of time, so as not to affect the quality of production.

Analysis of main components of non-stick coatings in the production of Teflon

The basic film-forming materials for non-stick coatings in the production of Teflon are fluororesins and binders. The choice of fluororesin plays a crucial role in the non-stick properties of Teflon spray non-stick coatings.

There are many types of fluororesin sprayed on Teflon, among many fluororesins, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has the lowest friction coefficient, so PTFE is the preferred fluororesin for non-stick coatings. For better coating properties or ease of construction, Generally, a resin such as tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA) or tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP) is added on the basis of PTFE. Therefore, the fluororesin for non-stick coatings is generally a PTFE-based Teflon mixture.

Teflon PTFE has a regular structure, high crystallinity, and is almost insoluble in any solvent under normal temperature conditions; and the melting temperature is high, the melt viscosity is large, the fluidity of the coating is not good, which directly affects the non-stickiness of the Teflon-coated non-stick coating. For the above reasons, the fluororesin used in general non-stick coatings is a mixture of PTFE and other fluororesins, such as FEP, PFA, and the like. Compared with PTFE, FEP has the advantages of better melt flow and lower crystallinity, which results in a lower porosity of the formed coating, which is especially suitable for the hot and humid environment of baked food factories. PFA is very close to the chemical and thermal stability of PTFE, but PFA has higher toughness than PTFE and improves the wear resistance of the coating. The addition of PFA prevents the formation of large crystalline areas on the surface of the coating film.

Usually, adding more than 40% by weight of PFA has a significant effect. However, the miscibility of PTFE and FEP is limited, and a crystallization zone is formed in a portion where each polymer is separated, and a coating film defect sometimes occurs. Large pores and coating film defects are not allowed in a coating for preventing the substrate from being permeable to water or gas. These defects are to a large extent related to the composition of the fluoropolymer and may also be related to other ingredients in the coating formulation. The method and conditions of using the coating are also important in controlling the structure of the coating (such as cooling rate). The addition of copolymers such as FEP and PFA contributes to the formation of a coating having a lower degree of amorphousness than pure PTFE due to its low crystallinity. Therefore, the mixing of PTFE with FEP or PFA in Teflon non-stick coatings can improve the impermeability of the coating and prevent the formation of defects such as bubbles or corrosion

Can the PTFE series be recycled ? Safe recycling method for PTFE

PTFE, Whose scientific name is PTFE, which is a high-performance material with heat resistance, chemical inertness, insulation stability and low friction. It is widely used as a frying pan coating, breathable sportswear materials, and electronic product insulators. There is no effective method for recycling, also recycling for this material, the conventional combustion treatment method not only easily damages the combustion equipment but also generates highly polluting gas.

The University of Bayreuth in Germany published a communique in 2015 saying that the school’s material processing scientists worked with the business community to develop a cost-effective and pollution-free method for recycling Teflon materials. This achievement will help solve the problem of Teflon waste disposal.

German researchers first decomposed this material into smaller molecules and used microwaves as a heating source to generate pyrolysis, resulting in a recovery of 93%. According to the researchers, another feature of the method is that it does not produce harmful by-products during the process and ensures safe recycling of Teflon.

According to the researchers, they will establish a small experimental plant in the next step to verify the industrial feasibility of this method.
