The Production Process of PTFE Color Film

PTFE color film is suitable for the insulation of electrical instruments or wires that are distinguished by color. It is a new type of C-class insulating material with excellent comprehensive performance. It is one of the indispensable and important materials in the radio industry, aviation industry, and cutting-edge science and technology. PTFE film generally uses suspension polymerized polytetrafluoroethylene resin, and the particle diameter is required to be below 150μm. Pigments must have good heat resistance (>400℃), fine particles, strong coloring power, and stability of chemical reagents.

Production Process

PTFE resin, pigment → mixing → compression molding → sintering → cooling → turning non-directional film → calendering semi-directional film

Main Process Parameters

Mixing: At present, there are two main mixing methods for producing colored PTFE films; dry mixing and wet mixing. Studies have shown that wet mixing is more uniform than dry mixing, but there are more processes, high costs, and solvents are required. In order to ensure the uniformity of products, wet mixing is generally used.

The process is to add PTFE resin and pigment to solvent → mixing → drying → solvent removal → color material.

Molded pre-forming: a reasonable selection of pre-forming unit pressure is an important process condition for producing PTFE colored film. It is mainly selected according to the resin fineness, compression ratio, pigment type fineness, and other conditions, generally, 20-40MPa.

Sintering cooling: Because the color film contains pigments, the thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient are inconsistent with PTFE. Therefore, the temperature rise and fall in the sintering process is slower than that of ordinary PTFE film, and the sintering temperature is lower than that of ordinary film. The rise and fall temperature is 20-30℃/h, and the sintering temperature is 375℃. The heating rate of ordinary film is 50-60℃/h before 327℃, 30-40℃/h after 327℃, the sintering temperature is 380℃, and the cooling rate is 20-50℃/h.

Turning non-directional film: the appropriate tooltip angle is 40°~45°, and the speed is slower than ordinary PTFE.

Calendering semi-directional film: Calendering temperature varies with film thickness, generally 5μm thick, 110℃±5℃; 30μm thick, 130℃±10℃. The rolling multiple is 215~310.

Main Equipment

  • Mixing mixer;
  • Hydraulic press 35~40MPa;
  • Sintering furnace DL151;
  • Precision CNC lathe C620;
  • Calendar roller Φ100×120.

  1. Hi! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does managing a well-established blog such as yours take a lot
    of work? I’m completely new to running a blog but I do write in my diary daily.

    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online.

    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring
    bloggers. Thankyou!

  2. Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of
    Wordpress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for
    another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point
    me in the direction of a good platform. Juventus trikot
