Fluorosint HPV PTFE
Polytetrafluoroethylene
Fluorosint HPV is an FDA compliant, high-performance, bearing grade PTFE material. Optimized for high-pressure velocity and low k-factor,
Fluorosint HPV was developed specifically for bearing applications where other PTFE formulations typically exhibit premature wear. Ideal for food
processing and pharmaceutical applications, Fluorosint HPV’sFDAcompliancegivesequipmentmanufacturersnewdesignoptionsforload-
bearing and wear applications.

Notes, see datasheet on page 1
The figures given for these properties are for the most part derived from raw material supplier data and other publications.
Values for this property are only given here for amorphous materials and for materials that do not show a melting temperature
(PBI & PI).
Temperatureresistanceoveraperiodofmin.20,000hours.Afterthisperiodoftime,thereisadecreaseintensilestrength–
measuredat23°C–ofabout50%ascomparedwiththeoriginalvalue.Thetemperaturevaluegivenhereisthusbasedon
the thermal-oxidative degradation which takes place and causes a reduction in properties. Note, however, that the maximum
allowable service temperature depends in many cases essentially on the duration and the magnitude of the mechanical
stresses to which the material is subjected.
Impact strength decreasing with decreasing temperature, the minimum allowable service temperature is practically mainly
determined by the extent to which the material is subjected to impact. The value given here is based on unfavourable impact
conditions and may consequently not be considered as being the absolute practical limit.
These estimated ratings, derived from raw material supplier data and other publications, are not intended to reflect hazards
presentedbythematerialunderactualfireconditions.Thereisno‘ULFileNumberavailableforthesestockshapes.
Most of the figures given for the mechanical properties are average values of tests run on dry test specimens machined out of
rods 40-60 mm when available, else out of plate 10-20mm. All tests are done at room temperature (23° / 73°F)

Type 1 tensile bars

This product data sheet and any data and specifications presented on our website shall provide promotional and general information
about the Engineering Plastic Products (the "Products") manufactured and offered by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials and shall
serve as a preliminary guide. All data and descriptions relating to the Products are of an indicative nature only. Neither this data sheet
nor any data and specifications presented on our website shall create or be implied to create any legal or contractual obligation.
Any illustration of the possible fields of application of the Products shall merely demonstrate the potential of these Products, but any
such description does not constitute any kind of covenant whatsoever. Irrespective of any tests that Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced
Materials may have carried out with respect to any Product, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials does not possess expertise in
evaluating the suitability of its materials or Products for use in specific applications or products manufactured or offered by the customer
respectively. The choice of the most suitable plastics material depends on available chemical resistance data and practical experience,
but often preliminary testing of the finished plastics part under actual service conditions (right chemical, concentration, temperature and
contact time, as well as other conditions) is required to assess its final suitability for the given application.
It thus remains the customer's sole responsibility to test and assess the suitability and compatibility of Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced
Materials' Products for its intended applications, processes and uses, and to choose those Products which according to its assessment
meet the requirements applicable to the specific use of the finished product. The customer undertakes all liability in respect of the
application, processing or use of the aforementioned information or product, or any consequence thereof, and shall verify its quality and
