(24) Various fillers can be added to PTFE to enhance certain characteristics, e.g. Glass fiber (high wear resistance, good electrical, low friction), graphite (low friction, excellent chemical resistance, high creep resistance), carbon fiber (high wear resistance, high load resistance, high bend resistance), glass fiber and Molybdenum Disulfide (high wear resistance, low friction, high creep resistance), Bronze (high wear resistance, heat dissipation). In some industries filled PTFE has become the standard, such as the bearing pad industry, where various percentages of glass fiber are added to the base PTFE resin to create an extremely tough, weatherproof, interface material which can be cut or stamped into configurations to match the ...
