Tetron C is a carbon-filled PTFE grade within Dotmar's Tetron range of advanced engineering plastics. The addition of carbon filler significantly improves the material's creep resistance and wear behaviour while imparting anti-static characteristics, making it distinct from unfilled PTFE.
This grade offers a low coefficient of friction of 0.12 and maintains its properties across a wide service temperature range from -200°C to 260°C. Its high chemical resistance and dimensional stability suit demanding environments. Dotmar supplies Tetron C in rod and sheet formats, backed by expert machining and fabrication capabilities to meet precise component requirements.
Key Features
- Carbon-filled PTFE for enhanced wear and creep resistance
- Anti-static properties for sensitive applications
- Low coefficient of friction of 0.12
- Service temperature range from -200°C to 260°C
- High chemical resistance
