INOFLON INOFLON® 610


Fluoropolymers

Technical Information
INOFLON® 610 is virgin granular general moulding grade. It is suitable for moulding of billets, sheets and stock shape
moulding. Many end products are fabricated by moulding INOFLON® 610 and machining them into desired shapes.
Examples include skived sheets of thickness above 1 mm., gaskets, spacers, bushings, packings, seals, bridge or pipeline
bearing pads.

FDA Compliance
When products made from INOFLON®610 are correctly processed, that is sintered at high temperature practiced by
industries, they may comply with FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.1550 for use in contact with food.

Packaging
INOFLON®610 is packed in 25 & 40Kgs plastic drums.

Handling and storage


Preforming at temperatures in the range of 23-28°C (73.4-82.4°F) is most preferable. Resin temperature must be above
19 °C (66.2°F) during moulding because of a special molecular transition of PTFE at 19°C (66.2°F). PTFE molecule, which
has a helical shape, tightens up by transition from a helix where 15 carbons are required for 180 turn to 13 carbons. Below
19 °C (66.2°F), PTFE molecule becomes stiff and less conformable, thus there is a chance that moulded parts could end
up cracked. PTFE powder becomes sticky, forms lumps and loses all flow at temperatures above 28°C (82.4°F).
For best results, the powder processing areas should be kept clean and free of all contamination. Organic
contamination and foreign matter usually appear as dark spots often easily visible against the white PTFE background.
Organic contamination material degrades at the sintering temperatures and forms discolored spots. They oxidize away
as carbon dioxide wherever sufficient oxygen exposure takes place. It is, therefore, not unusual to encounter
discoloration inside a part away from the surface where hardly any oxygen is present.
Processing
Before using, the powder must be conditioned above 19°C (66.2°F). First the mould is filled with the resin. Next, it is
compacted into a preform that has a shape similar to the final shape of the desired moulding. The preform is then
sintered in an oven where it undergoes heating and cooling cycles, in which heating and cooling rates and dwell times
are defined and programmed. The two cycles together are commonly called sintering cycle. The preform is heated to a
temperature above the crystalline melting point of the resin during the sintering cycle. The cooling cycle is used to
control the crystallinity of the part. The properties of a part are functions of preforming pressure, dwell time, sintering
time and temperature and cooling rate.

Safety precautions
Handling and processing of PTFE must be done in ventilated areas to prevent personnel exposure to the fumes liberated
during sintering and heating of the resin. Fumes should not be inhaled and eye and skin contact must be avoided. In
case of skin contact wash with soap and water immediately. In case of eye contact, flush with water immediately and
seek medical help. Smoking tobacco or cigarettes contaminated with PTFE may result in a flu-like condition including
chills, fever and sore throat that may not occur until a few hours after exposure has taken place.
Mixtures of some metal powders such as magnesium or aluminum are flammable and explosive under some
conditions. Please read the Material Safety Data Sheet and the detailed information in the “Guide to the safe handling of
Fluoropolymer Resins” published by the Fluoropolymer Division of The Society of the Plastics Industry available at
