Teflon® NXT 75 is a chemically modified polytetrafluoroethylene polymer. When properly processed, Teflon® NXT 75 exhibits the superior properties typical of the fluoropolymer resins: nonaging characteristics, chemical inertness, heat resistance, toughness and flexibility, low coefficient of friction, nonstick characteristics, negligible moisture absorption, and weather resistance. In addition, this resin offers weldability, improved resistance to deformation under load, increased resistance to permeation of chemicals, and a higher dielectric breakdown voltage. This resin provides a high degree of weldability for applications where the use of elevated pressure and temperature are limited. Teflon® NXT 75 is a fine-cut resin designed for general compression molding of blocks and sheets and for use as a base resin for compounds. It can be used for such applications as: seal rings, valve seats, bearing pads, linings, encapsulations, and as a base resin for filled compounds. This resin is particularly useful in applications where welding of parts to other fluoropolymers such as PFA or standard PTFE is required, e.g., fluid-handling systems. Chemours was formed from former DuPont performance chemicals businesses, including DuPont Fluoroproducts, in 2015. |
