Fluorosint® HPV Wear Resistant, FDA-Compliant PTFE Bearing Material

Fluorosint® HPV PTFE - Most Wear Resistant Fluorosint Grade - Outlasts Low-Tech PTFE Based Materials.

Quadrant's FDA-compliant Fluorosint HPV is a mica-filled high-performance bearing grade that can deliver a pressure velocity (PV) performance improvement of more than 40 per cent over other PTFE materials according to in-house tests conducted by Quadrant. Parts made of Fluorosint HPV can withstand higher loads and velocities while delivering better wear resistance, enabling the part to last longer compared to existing FDA-compliant PTFE-based materials. The product was specially developed to meet the demands of high-performance bearing applications where other, low-technology PTFE formulations would exhibit premature wear or not perform adequately. These characteristics, together with FDA compliance for food and pharmaceutical applications, open up interesting new options for engineers and manufacturers. Simply put, parts machined from Fluorosint HPV last longer than those made from many of the alternative filled PTFE materials on the market today. Fluorosint HPV can replace bronze, steel and powdered metal parts and deliver performance gains in wear life and system performance. Typical applications include thrust washers, wear guides, seals and food processing and preparation equipment.

FDA compliant Fluorosint HPV PTFE is a high performance bearing grade of Fluorosint - optimized for high PV and very low "K" or wear factor. Fluorosint HPV PTFE was developed for bearing applications where other, low-tech PTFE formulations exhibit premature wear or simply cannot perform. FDA compliance gives food and pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers new design options and all benefit from its excellent load bearing and wear characteristics.

Nylatron® GS Nylon Sheets and Rods Available Online

Professional Plastics offers Nylatron® GS Nylon Sheets and Rods from their e-commerce website in a full range of sizes.  Nylatron® GS is a molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) filled nylon offering improved strength and rigidity when compared to unfilled Nylon. Nylatron GS provides a lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion than Nylon 101 . Nylatron materials can be extruded or cast into basic shapes for machining.  Nylatron GS is the Extruded Grade which is best for smaller parts, while Nylatron GSM is the Cast Grade which is more suitable for large parts. Both grades are available from Professional Plastics website.

Nylatron GS parts maintain better fit and clearances than unfilled Nylon and have less tendency to seize as bearings.   This material is economical and easy to machine into complex parts.

Nylatron GS Rods are available in standard 8 foot lengths.
Nylatron GS Sheets are available in standard 24" x 48" sheets or can cut-to-size to customer specifications upon request.


Nylatron® is a registered trade name of Quadrant EPP - supply partner to Professional Plastics, Inc.
