The key markets for Moldflon™ are automotive, electronics, semiconductors, medical applications, aerospace and general industrials. The use of Moldflon™ enables new system solutions in these markets. In addition, this new type of PTFE that is suitable for thermoplastic processing competes with existing materials, particularly with high-performance thermoplastics, as well as with metals and ceramic materials. Considering this, the special properties and advantages of Moldflon™ vis-à-vis existing plastics are described in the following chapters.
Thermal resistance and high permanent service temperatures
Moldflon™ excels in terms of its high permanent service temperature. As the diagram below demonstrates, in the area of partially crystalline thermoplastics the thermal resistance of Moldflon™ is only achieved by PEEK. With a melting temperature of about 320°C and a permanent service temperature of around 260°C, the service temperatures are clearly above those of the traditional high-temperature thermoplastics such as polyphenylene sulfides (PPS), polysulfones (PSU), polyamides (PA) and their derivatives.
