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