Fluoroplastic tape F-4 DO 0,01х80 mm - is a non-sintered film of fluoroplast - 4D, a finely dispersed modification of polytetrafluoroethylene.
Designed to work with aggressive liquids and gases, with the exception of alkali metal solutions, chlorine trifluoride and elemental fluorine. The unique properties of fluoroplast make it possible to use this material as a sealing element.
The FUM tape is used for sealing threaded joints of pipelines made of all materials operating at temperatures from -60°C to +200°C and medium pressure up to 10 MPa, as well as for sealing systems with general industrial media and highly aggressive media. Does not allow re-consolidation, loosening-tightening. It is used as follows: it is wound against the course of the thread with an overlap (provides thickness), from the end of the pipe, the connection is tightened. If tightness is not ensured, tighten (do not loosen). If it doesn’t work out again - unwind, remove the tape, start over.
It is allowed to use tape for fittings operating at a pressure of 41.2 MPa.
With the help of the FUM tape, systems are compacted, both with concentrated and dilute solutions of acids and alkalis, systems with general industrial media and those operating on strong oxidizing agents.
Film and sheet materials from fluoroplast-4 in terms of production make up a significant share of the output of all products from fluoroplast-4. The main consumers of these products are the electrical and electronic industries, instrument making, which use film materials for the production of cables, capacitors, as well as for the manufacture of gaskets, sealing and facing materials. The use of fluoroplastic films in electrical products and microwave technology is due to the high electrical characteristics of this material. The increased heat resistance of PTFE-4 ensures high reliability and long service life without aging of cable products with a small insulation thickness.
In accordance with GOST 24222-80, the following types of films are produced:
oriented capacitor is used for the manufacture of capacitors (KO);
electrically insulating oriented is designed to insulate wires and cables (EO);
electrical insulating non-oriented is designed to insulate wires and cables (EN);
insulating oriented (IO);
insulating non-oriented is designed for interlayer electrical insulation in devices and parts (IN);
non-oriented gasket is used for the manufacture of gasket, sealing and insulating material.
From the polymer compound polytetrafluoroethylene, a synthetic material is created, which is called fluoroplastic tape. This material has a number of specific properties, which made it possible to use it in many areas of human life.
Quite often, fluoroplastic tape is used when performing the following types of work:
Plumbing.
Installation of gas pipelines.
Heating system lining.
Plumbing installation.
Also, it has found application as a connecting material in equipment that must have a high degree of tightness and chemical resistance.
Among the main function of this tape is that it not only provides a tight connection, but also provides additional lubrication. Also, if necessary, it easily changes shape, so the connection remains tight in all situations.
It is also useful to use fluoroplastic film in cases where fittings with thin walls or plastic pipes with a small diameter are used. Here the belt is not affected in any way by how rough the surface is or how severe the wear is.
The tape is simple and easy to use, and the speed of installation of various communications with its use is reduced several times.
What are the main features of PTFE tape
Among the main advantages, which can also be attributed to its advantages, are:
Hydrophobicity - the ability to repel moisture without getting wet.
Flexibility - the tape can be stretched and provide a snug fit in connections where there is a thread.
High tensile strength - it remains elastic even at very low temperatures. It tolerates rough exposure well, but loses its qualities under long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Chemical resistance - it does not rot and does not react to many chemicals.
High melting point. Up to a temperature of 216 degrees, it remains chemically inert, and above this indicator, fluorine begins to be released in toxic compounds.
The coefficient of friction is small. It glides and other substances do not stick to it.
Thus, the fluoroplastic film has a large number of positive properties, due to which it is a demanded and widely used material in many areas of human activity.
Application features
MadeThey cover anti-friction parts: overhead guides for metal-cutting machines, self-lubricating sliding bearings, piston rings. They wrap the coils of generators and engines (in combination with fiberglass). Paronite is wrapped as a gasket in benzene and cyclohexane environments. Due to the properties of fluoroplastic, it reliably ensures the tightness of the flange connection for a long period of time. They are used as flange seals and pipe connections in pipeline systems intended for chemically aggressive liquids or gases.
It is wound in the process of manufacturing a flexible reinforced fluoroplastic hose. Used for the manufacture of thin-layer insulation (tape thickness - 0.05-0.5 mm). Seal the threaded connection (thickness - 0.1 mm). Protect the rod from bitumen before pressing. They are used when making a connection with a threaded coupling (the FUM brand is suitable).
They insulate wires, cables, connectors, make printed circuit boards, use them for groove insulation of electrical machines, in microwave technology. PTFE tape insulation has a high level of electrical insulation characteristics. In this case, a glass fiber braid impregnated with silicone varnish is also used. Shielded wires can be used at temperatures up to 250°.
