What is PolyChloroTriFluoroEthylene used for?

PCTFE is used to protect sensitive electronic components because of its excellent electrical resistance and water repulsion. Other uses include flexible printed circuits and insulation of wires and cables. Low-molecular-weight PCTFE waxes, oils and greases find their application as inert sealants and lubricants.

How do I process PCTFE?

PCTFE is melt processable by conventional process techniques such as Injection moulding, Extrusion and Compression molding. However, processing of PCTFE is not as simple as in other materials and this complexity is due to the following reasons: ZST, Crystallinity and Residual stress.

Is Kel f PCTFE?

PCTFE (polychlorotrifluoroethylene), commonly referred to as Kel-F® or Neoflon®, is a fluoropolymer material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. PCTFE is often used for aerospace applications when chemical resistance, a broad operating temperature range, and low flammability are required.

What is Aclon?

Aclon® (PolyChloroTriFluoroEthylene) is a fluorocarbon based polymer and is frequently abbreviated as PCTFE. PCTFE combines physical and mechanical properties, non-flammability, chemical resistance, near-zero moisture absorption and excellent electrical properties not found in any other thermoplastic fluoropolymer.

How is polychlorotrifluoroethylene similar to polytetrafluoroethene?

Polychlorotrifluoroethylene ( PCTFE or PTFCE) is a thermoplastic chloro fluoropolymer with the molecular formula (CF 2 CClF) n, where n is the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule. It is similar to polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), except that it is a homopolymer of the monomer…

What is the molecular formula for Polychlorotrifluoroethylene ( PCTFE )?

Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) is a thermoplastic chlorofluoropolymer with the molecular formula (CF2CClF)n, where n is the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule.

What are the physical properties of PCTFE fluropolymer?

PCTFE combines physical and mechanical properties, non-flammability, chemical resistance, near zero moisture absorption and excellent electrical properties not found in any other thermoplastic fluropolymer.

What makes Aclon polychlorotrifluoroethylene a good insulator?

This material also has high compressive strength, exceptional resistance to cold flow, and performs well in a temperature range of -400° F to 400°F. Aclon® maintains an outstanding electrical insulating capability through thermal cycling and in high humidity environments.
