Teflon® PTFE B is an aqueous dispersion containing approximately 61%, by total weight, of active ingredients, which include 0.05 to 0.5 mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin particles. It is a milky white liquid with a pH of 8.5. Compared with other grades of PTFE dispersions, Teflon® PTFE B is a special formulation designed for application to woven glass fabric used to make bags for difficult gaseous filtration or product collection systems. The bags must be self-lubricating and resist clogging for years, while being flexed in high-temperature, corrosive atmospheres. When properly applied, Teflon® PTFE B improves the flex life, heat and chemical resistance, and antiadhesion behavior of glass fabric, resulting in filter bags with enhanced service life and efficiency. Applications Large, high-performance filter bags are made of woven glass fabric treated with Teflon® PTFE B. Principal markets are for pollution control of coal-fired boilers in utility and industrial plants, and for product collection in hostile environments, such as those for producing carbon black. Chemours was formed from former DuPont performance chemicals businesses, including DuPont Fluoroproducts, in 2015. |
