Additive for thermoplastic fluoropolymers
Ceramer is also used very successfully as a filler for thermoplastic fluoropolymers such as PFA and ETFE. Test results prove a drastic reduction in abrasion for thermoplastic fluoropolymers when Ceramer is added.
PFA filled with Ceramer shows higher strength (up to 30% in the case of a pump housing), hardness and stiffness than unfilled PFA. The chemical resistance of the compound is nearly the same as that of unfilled PFA.
Additive for high performance polymers
Because of its small particle size, Ceramer is very suitable as a reinforcing agent for many other polymers, such as LCP, PEEK, PBT, POM, PEI and PESU.
It is possible to substantially reduce abrasion and wear by adding Ceramer, and in addition to raise the pressure resistance — for example in gears made from high performance polymers filled with Ceramer.
