DuPont™ Teflon® PTFE 613A X is a polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder resin used primarily for paste extrusion. Teflon® PTFE 613A X offers the excellent combination of properties typical of the Teflon® fluoroplastic resins:
- chemical inertness to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents
- superior in-use thermal stability (low thermal instability index)
- exceptional dielectric properties, stable with frequency and temperature
- toughness and flexibility
- low coefficient of friction
- non-stick characteristics
- negligible moisture absorption
- excellent weather resistance
- service temperature up to 260°C (500°F)
- useful properties at -240°C (-400°F)
- moderate stiffness and high ultimate elongation
Teflon® PTFE 613A X is designed for processing at low to medium reduction ratios of 10:1 to 300:1. It is designed to facilitate the production of high-quality, low-density tape and beading. Teflon® PTFE 613A X meets the requirements of ASTM D 4895-10, Type I, Grade 1, Class B.
