SAE AMS367816 2010-NOV-01 Type 16 15 Polymde Flled Vrgn Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE Moldngs or Extrusons
Form
This specification covers a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin filled with 15% polyimide in the form of extruded or molded rods or tubes which are sintered after molding or, in the case of extrusions, sintered during the extrusion process.
Application
These products have been used typically for seal components in both static and dynamic applications, bearings and compressor rings, especially in dry running compressors requiring excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability up to 450 °F (232 °C), but usage is not limited to such applications. Each application should be considered individually.
