Tekpore

Polytetrafluorethylene, best known as PTFE, is a high performance plastic material used in a wide range of industrial applications:

  • Chemical & petrochemical
  • Electronics
  • Automotive
  • Food
  • Food
  • Aerospace
  • Ball valves
Guarniflon®, since 1982, is processing massive quantities of PTFE semifinished and engineered parts for the following main applications:
The total yearly production output of 6.000 tons. is including virgin PTFE products as well as high performance compounded PTFE grades developed by Guarniflon® Engineering, the R&D department fully supporting the production site.
THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF PTFE ARE:
  • Superior thermal stability
  • Excellent chemical inertness
  • Superior dielectric properties
  • Usefull mechanical properties at extremely low and high temperatures
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Excellent release properties
  • Excellent weatherability
  • Flame resistance
DRIVING FORCES
  • High sealability
  • Safety
  • Reliability
  • Low maintenance
  • Long life
  • Low pollution
  • Low emissions
  • Energy saving
  • Miniaturization
TEKPORE® PROPERTIES
THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF GUARNIFLON® POROUS PTFE

Porous PTFE grades are produced from suspension PTFE powders and specifically they are a mixture of different particle size distributions and hardness degrees to achieve the desired level of porosity.
Taking advantage of the up-to-date technologies and know-how used to process sintered PTFE products, Guarniflon® has developed different grades of porous PTFE with the following main properties:
  • Air flow rates: up to 20 l/hr/cm2 at 20 mbar
  • Water intrusione pressure (WIP): up to 1,2 bar
  • Water intrusione pressure (WIP): up to 1,2 bar
