Automotive Industry

Higher pressures, consistently increasing temperatures – these typical operating conditions in automotive engineering make maximum demands on the design of seals. But not only the mechanical properties but also the chemical resistance of a material are crucial factors. Often, sealing must be provided for different media such as oils, hydrocarbonic addititives or acids and alkaline solutions.

Moldflon™ meets the requirements profile of such applications not only due to its outstanding material properties. Thanks to new production technologies in PTFE processing, such as injec- tion molding, high-volume items can be manu- factured more economically. For applications in the high-pressure range, new Moldflon™ com- pounds were developed in order to further in- crease the required wear resistance.
