Fluoroplastics
Fluoroplastics have many advantages including excellent chemical, heat resistance and desirable electrical properties. Until recently, however, these characteristics have made fluoroplastics difficult to process and restricted its applications. Nitto Denko solved the problems by applying its own processing technology such as sputter etching techniques, precision engineering technology, and composite technology with different materials. Nitto Denko's technologies have opened up a host of new possibilities for fluoroplastics, such as passing the UL inflammability standards in the USA, NITOFLON is now used as a material in a very wide range of applications, from electronics to household products.
Excellent Heat Resistance:These materials offer outstanding heat and cold resistances. Continuous service temperature ranges from -100¢XC to +260¢XC, and the melting point is 327¢XC.
Outstanding Electrical Insulation Properties:Fluoroplastics have the lowest dielectric constant and dissipation factors of all solid materials. They are stable in a wide range of frequencies and external environments, making them ideal as high frequency insulation materials.
No Adhesion to Fluoroplastics:Adhesive do not stick easily to fluoroplastics, so they are ideal for use in mold release applications.
Best Sliding Properties out of All Solid Materials:Fluoroplastics have the lowest coefficient to friction among all solid matter giving them excellent auto-lubrication properties.
Exceptionally Good Chemical Resistance:The stable molecular structure of NITOFLON means that fluoroplastics are unaffected by virtually all industrial chemicals and solvents.
The Best Weatherability Available:Fluoroplastics are virtually unaffected by visible and ultraviolet lights as well as humidity. They are suitable for long-term outdoor use.
