Tefzel™ is a brand of ETFE or ethylene tetrafluoroethylene resins produced by Dupont. This material is also known under the brand names Neoflon® ETFE by Daikin, Fluon® by Asahi Glass Company, and Texlon® by Vector Foiltec. This thermoplastic fluoropolymer is widely used in the building industry and is appreciated...
ETFE, also known as ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, is a material widely used in the chemical industry, architecture and construction. It is a material that is used in many applications. SPN tells you more about it. ETFE and its extraordinary strength Known under the trade name Tefzel® by Dupont, ETFE is a thermoplastic...
Like the Kel-F® and Neoflon® brands, ARKEMA's Voltalef® brand is one of the materials used by SPN. As with all products derived from the processing of PCTFE, Voltalef® inherits the exceptional properties of PCTFE. As a result, Voltalef® provides SPN with reliable, high-performance products for a wide range of...
Voltalef® 302, also known as PCTFE, belongs to the family of fluoropolymers and is used in the manufacture of products for sealing and cryogenic applications. Voltalef® is a product with outstanding properties and is therefore included in SPN's product portfolio, along with the Kel-F® and Neoflon® brands. The outstanding properties...
PFA is a material processed and machined at SPN. It is a material whose properties are perfect for many sectors such as medical or chemical. Among the properties of PFA, we particularly appreciate its non-stick properties, its chemical compatibility with many products and its wide range of operating temperatures....
SPN currently produces a dozen transformable materials. Among them, PCTFE, a fluorinated polymer has exceptional properties. Thanks to SPN's expertise in plastics processing and machining, many reliable and high-performance products are produced from PCTFE for critical applications. PCTFE properties can meet many industrial needs, especially when there are constraints of...
Most plastic components are produced by injection molding. This production process allows the component manufacturer to produce complex geometries at low unit cost. Polymer injection molding is the most widely used production process for plastic components. Unfortunately, PTFE cannot be injected because it has a high viscosity when in a...
The result of a unexpected discovery, PTFE TEFLON is one of the most widely used high-performance materials in the industry. More than 80 years after that discovery, the TEFLON™ brand continues to affirm the undeniable quality for this material. Today, PTFE has become common product and many producers have...
For more than 80 years, SPN has been developing innovative products from high-performance polymers. Among a dozen materials processed, SPN produces fluorinated polymers, including the best known, PTFE. This material with remarkable properties has been a historical pride of SPN since the manufacture of masks for fighter pilots. Let's...
PTFE is used in many seals because it has remarkable properties (see PTFE article) especially in the industrial valves, cryogenics and chemical sectors. PTFE is used in extreme environments such as low temperatures, corrosive chemicals, or low friction coefficient. One of the major defects of PTFE is creep, i.e. deformation...
