Turcite

From Plastics Wiki, free encyclopedia

Turcite® (Ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethlyene [ECTFE])is a high-quality, internally lubricated material that is ideal for applications with demanding wear and friction requirements. Its low water absorption enables components made with Turcite® to retain their integrity over long periods. This material comes in two grades. Turcite® A is a resilient formulation that performs well under vibratory and dynamic loading. Turcite® X has minimal hygroscopic characteristics and low thermal expansion properties, resulting in a structurally stable material. Both grades can be easily machined from rod and tube stock.
