PTFE Liners for Welding and Robot Equipment Manufacturers
Owing to their excellent material properties such as flame retardancy, chemical inertness as well as excellent dielectric strength, PTFE Liners are eminently suitable for usage in a wide range of applications. Broadly speaking, they can be categorized into natural and filled liners. While natural PTFE Liners tend to exhibit so-called cold flow behavior under pressure,[…]

Classification of insulation materials and limiting temperatures
Insulation material classes are generally used to characterize and specify insulating materials regarding their thermal resistance. Thus the insulation material classes provide a clear, standardized classification of the respective materials according to their maximum operating temperature. Consequently, different classes with varying limit temperatures have been defined. In order to ensure long-term functionality in operation, these[…]
