Thanks to its thermoplastic processability, Moldflon opens up new
application potential for PTFE, such as complex geometries which used to be
difficult or impossible to achieve by cutting.
The combination of PTFE¹s material properties and degrees of freedom with
the economy resulting from melt-based manufacturing processes such as
injection-molding or extrusion, gives ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik a
leading edge in its field yet again.
The innovation with Moldflon consists of the fact that, unlike PTFE, it can
be processed from the melt a new dimension in terms of economy and
processing technology in highvolume manufacturing of PTFE products.
Other options include the extrusion of continuous profiles, fibres and
sheets as well as the fabrication of components by means of transfermolding.
Moldflon enables costeffective system solutions, not least due its
avoidance, by and large, of waste which is inevitably generated when cutting
PTFE. This significantly broadens the processing spectrum and product range
for the benefit of our customers.
Moldflon is characterised by a well-balanced properties profile. In the area
of fully fluorinated PTFE and thermoplastic products it is positioned
between modified PTFE and PFA. With a melting point between 315°C and 324°C,
it immediately follows modified PTFE.
