Ticomp MD is a filled PTFE material formulated with a metal detectable additive. This grade retains the intrinsic low friction, broad chemical resistance and wide service temperature window of PTFE while enabling reliable detection of plastic fragments during production or maintenance.
Dotmar supplies Ticomp MD as rod, sheet and cylinder stock, ready for precision machining into components. The combination of metal detectability and typical fluoropolymer performance makes it a practical choice where product safety and process integrity are non‑negotiable.
Key Features
- Metal detectable for contamination monitoring
- Continuous service temperature from -260 °C to +260 °C
- Low coefficient of friction of 0.25
- High chemical resistance
- Tensile strength of 20 MPa
- Available in rod, sheet and cylinder formats
Ticomp MD is commonly machined into seals, gaskets, bearings, valve seats and custom wear parts for the food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and packaging industries. It is specified wherever foreign‑body detection is essential to protect product quality and equipment reliability.
