AFT Fluorotec AF115 Reinforced PTFE

AFT Fluorotec AF115 Reinforced PTFE material specifically developed for slide bearing and skidway applications. This material comprises a unique blend of filler compounds to give optimum compressive strength whilst retaining very low frictional coefficients. The load bearing characteristics are greatly improved over conventional PTFE materials and the unique blend of fillers means maximum compressive strength whilst still having an extremely low coefficient of friction, regardless of conditions, surpassing other filled PTFE materials. AF115 is also unaffected by UV.
