Ceramer and Ceramerplus are ideal as reinforcing materials for PTFE and greatly improve the abrasion resistance and creep tendency.
The particle shape, spherical with a rough, cracked surface, enables the material to form an intimate mechanical bond with matrix substances such as fluoropolymers.
The general outstanding chemical and temperature resistance of PTFE are not affected as the properties of Ceramer and Ceramerplus are very similar to those of PTFE.
Due to the low density of Ceramer (1.44 -1.54 g/cm3), a large volume load can be achieved with little weight gain. Ceramer is typically used as additive in a range of 5 - 15 percent by weight.
Ceramer and Ceramerplus can be processed under standard PTFE processing conditions such as compression molding powders or paste extrusion powders.
