PTFE + Bronze (also known as Bronze Filled PTFE) is a composite grade of PTFE blended with bronze powder, typically between 40% to 60% by weight. Adding bronze significantly improves the mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity of PTFE, making it more suitable for high-load applications compared to Virgin PTFE.
Key Properties of Bronze Filled PTFE
- Excellent wear resistance → much higher than pure PTFE.
- Improved load-bearing capacity, making PTFE Bronze bushings ideal for heavy-duty use.
- Higher thermal conductivity, allowing faster heat dissipation.
- Lower creep (cold flow) compared to Virgin PTFE.
- Moderate chemical resistance → reduced compared to unfilled PTFE, especially in oxidizing environments.
Common Applications PTFE Bronze
- PTFE Bronze bearings and bushings for automotive and industrial machinery.
- PTFE Bronze seals and piston rings in compressors and hydraulic systems.
- PTFE + Bronze rod and sheet for machining high-strength custom parts.
- Applications requiring high wear resistance and mechanical durability under heavy loads.
