Fluorinated resins are commonly used in components for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and precision instruments. Among these, Teflon resin (PTFE) is particularly in demand in Thailand due to its excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and tribological properties. In this article, we will introduce the fluorinated resins handled by Technoplast, with a focus on Teflon resin (PTFE).

Tetrafluoroethylene Resin with Excellent Chemical Resistance, Heat Resistance, and Tribological Properties

PTFE resin, also known as 'Teflon resin' or 'Tetrafluoroethylene resin,' is a high-performance engineering plastic with the highest heat resistance among fluorinated resins and combines several outstanding characteristics. Our head office in Japan has been handling this material for over 20 years and we have extensive sales experience.

Disadvantages include being 'soft,' 'high-priced,' and 'vulnerable to shock.' Therefore, care must be taken during ・handling to avoid scratches and dents. Due to these characteristics, PTFE is commonly used in the following products:

・Semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts
・Cleaning equipment that uses chemicals (chemical resistance)
・Rollers and cylindrical parts (tribological properties)
・Parts for high-temperature equipment (heat resistance)

Fluorinated Resins Lineup Available in Thailand

We also offer other materials, including glass-filled PTFE, trifluoroethylene resin (PCTFE), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).

■ Glass-Filled PTFE
Offers high chemical resistance and tribological properties. It has higher strength and better abrasion resistance compared to standard PTFE, resulting in a longer service life. Primary Applications: Gaskets, seals, and similar uses.

■ Trifluoroethylene Resin (PCTFE)
It offers high impact resistance and chemical resistance. It is resistant to UV degradation, with excellent weatherability and radiation resistance. Additionally, it features low friction and high electrical insulation properties. The melting point is approximately 220°C, and the continuous use temperature is up to 120°C. Primary Applications: Gaskets, various chemical equipment, electrical equipment components, and others.

■ Polyvinylidene Difluoride Resin (PVDF)
Among fluorinated resins, it boasts the highest strength, with excellent mechanical toughness, tensile strength, and compression resistance. It also excels in chemical and weather resistance, and can be welded and molded. Its melting point is approximately 170–175°C, with a continuous use temperature of 150°C. Main applications: valves, pumps, various chemical equipment, electrical insulation parts, and more
