Description
Teflon ™ PTFE NXT 85 is a free-flowing, pelletized, chemically modified granular resin (its equivalent fine-cut resin is Teflon ™ NXT 75). It provides superior processing characteristics in addition to properties of chemically modified resins. When properly processed, it offers an excellent combination of properties that are characteristic of Teflon ™ fluoroplastic resins:

• Chemical inertness

• Exceptional dielectric properties

• Heat resistance

• Toughness and flexibility

• Low coefficient of friction

• Non-stick characteristics

• Negligible water absorption

• Excellent weather resistance

This chemically modified resin offers improved resistance to deformation under load, increased resistance to permeation of chemicals, and higher dielectric breakdown strength. Teflon ™ PTFE NXT 85 provides a high degree of weldability for applications where the use of elevated temperature and pressure are limited.

Typical Applications
Teflon ™ PTFE NXT 85 can be converted to parts by isostatic, billet, and sheet molding methods, as well as ram extrusion. It can be used for:

• Valve seats

• Fittings

• Pipe valve and vessel liners

• Seal rings

• Bearing pad

• Electrical insulation

This resin is particularly useful in applications where welding of parts to other fluoropolymers such as PFA or standard PTFE is required, e.g., fluid handling systems.
