Main characteristics of steel lined PTFE agitator blade
The main characteristics of the steel lined PTFE stirring blade are reflected in its combination of the mechanical strength of steel and the excellent chemical stability of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), including:
High strength and rigidity: Due to the steel substrate of the mixing blade, it has high strength and rigidity, and can withstand the large torque and axial force generated during the mixing process. It is suitable for large mixing equipment and occasions that require handling high viscosity media.
Strong corrosion resistance: Polytetrafluoroethylene is a material with extremely high chemical stability, which can resist the erosion of various corrosive media, including strong acids, strong bases, organic solvents, etc. This makes the steel lined PTFE stirring blade have a wide range of application prospects in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food, especially in the treatment of corrosive media.
Non adhesiveness: The surface energy of polytetrafluoroethylene is extremely low, making it impossible for any known solid material to adhere to its surface. This characteristic makes the steel lined PTFE stirring blade less prone to material adhesion during the stirring process, reducing frictional resistance and energy consumption, while also facilitating cleaning and maintenance.
Wide temperature resistance range: Polytetrafluoroethylene has a wide temperature range for use, ranging from -190 ℃ to 260 ℃ (the specific temperature resistance range may vary depending on the material formula and processing technology). This makes the steel lined PTFE agitator suitable for mixing operations under various temperature conditions, including high and low temperature environments.
Excellent insulation performance: Polytetrafluoroethylene is an excellent insulation material with high volume resistance and breakdown voltage. This makes the steel lined PTFE stirring blade perform well in situations where insulation performance is required, such as the stirring part of electrical equipment.
Good wear resistance: Although polytetrafluoroethylene itself is relatively soft, the specially treated steel lined PTFE stirring blade can still maintain good wear resistance in long-term use, reducing equipment failures and downtime caused by wear.
Easy to clean and maintain: Due to the smooth surface of polytetrafluoroethylene and its resistance to material adhesion, steel lined PTFE agitator blades are relatively easy to clean and maintain. This helps reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs, and improve production efficiency.
In summary, steel lined PTFE agitator blades are widely used in various industrial fields due to their high strength, strong corrosion resistance, non adhesiveness, wide temperature range, excellent insulation performance, good wear resistance, and ease of cleaning and maintenance.
