Product Information Description • Bearing pad Teflon PTFE NXT 85 is a free-flowing, pelletized, chemically ™ • Electrical insulation modified granular resin (its equivalent fine-cut resin is Teflon™ This resin is particularly useful in applications where welding NXT 75). It provides superior processing characteristics in of parts to other fluoropolymers such as PFA or standard addition to properties of chemically modified resins. When PTFE is required, e.g., fluid handling systems. properly processed, it offers an excellent combination of properties that are characteristic of Teflon™ fluoroplastic Processing resins: Teflon™ PTFE NXT 85 can be processed by all methods used • Chemical inertness for conversion of free-flow granular PTFE resins to parts. • Exceptional dielectric properties Traditional billet and sheet molding techniques can be used to • Heat resistance produce large shapes. More complex parts can be fabricated by automatic and isostatic molding methods. This resin can • Toughness and flexibility also be converted to rods and tubes by ram extrusion. All • Low coefficient of friction molding methods, except ram extrusion, produce preforms • Non-stick characteristics that must be sintered in ovens. Finished product properties • Negligible water absorption depend on preform pressure and the sintering cycle. The sintering cycle is defined by temperature, time, and the • Excellent weather resistance cooling rate. Typical properties are listed in Table 1. This chemically modified resin offers improved resistance to deformation under load, increased resistance to permeation Food Contact Compliance of chemicals, and higher dielectric breakdown strength. Properly processed products (sintered at high temperatures Teflon™ PTFE NXT 85 provides a high degree of weldability common to the industry) made from Teflon™ PTFE NXT 85 for applications where the use of elevated temperature and resin can qualify for use in contact with food in compliance pressure are limited. with FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.1550.

Teflon™ PTFE NXT 85 Modified Granular Fluoroplastic Resin
Storage and Handling temperatures cause even very small foreign particles to become visible in finished moldings. Keep resin drums Preforming is easiest when the resin is between 21–27 °C closed and clean. Good housekeeping and careful handling (70–80 °F). As temperature declines below this range, the are essential. resin will be increasingly difficult to mold without cracks and problems with condensed moisture. Higher temperatures inhibit Packaging flow and promote lumping. Storage conditions should be set accordingly. Teflon™ PTFE NXT 85 is packaged in 45-kg (100-lb) drums. Each drum has a bag liner made of polyethylene resin. Cleanliness is a critical requirement for successful use of Teflon™ PTFE NXT 85. The white resin and high sintering
