Modified PTFE

Derived from standard PTFE, a new product – modified PTFE – is created by co-polymerization with a small quantity of a perfluorinated modifier and reduction of the molecular weight. Although modified PTFE can be processed by the same methods used for standard PTFE, it has a clearly improved profile of properties, such as reduced cold flow and permeation as well as smaller pore volume and a lower stretch void index (SVI).
