Supply Chain & Integrity Assurance
Packaging, Storage & Logistics.
📦
Standard US Packaging
Individual Container: 27.2-kg (60-lb) heavy-duty, double-sealed anti-static plastic drums[cite: 1].
Pallet Configuration: 326.4-kg (720-lb) net weight standard pallets containing 12 secure drums[cite: 1].
Contamination Shield: Hermetically sealed inner poly-liners ensure moisture and particulate exclusion during sea/air freight.
❄️
Temperature & Shear Control
Transition Point: Store and condition powder below 19°C (66°F) to prevent irreversible mechanical shearing and premature fibrillation[cite: 1].
Restoration Protocol: If compaction occurs during shipping, cool below 19°C (66°F) for 24–48 hours, followed by standard 4 to 10 mesh sifting[cite: 1].
Dew Point Control: Maintain ambient humidity controls to prevent water condensation on virgin resin[cite: 1].
🚚
Freight & Warehousing
Shock & Vibration Protection: Pallets are wrapped with reinforced protective corners to prevent container jostling.
Clean Warehouse Protocols: Maintain closed-drum policy away from airborne particles to eliminate defects during high-temp sintering[cite: 1].
DOT / Safety Status: Classified as non-hazardous for inland US trucking and international marine shipping.
Engineering & Handling Integrity
Processing Guidelines & Safety Standards.
Mastering shear control, preforming compaction, and thermal sintering parameters for Everflon™ PTFE Fine Powder F100.
1
Lubricant Aid & Compounding
Compound the resin with a liquid hydrocarbon processing aid (e.g., odorless solvent or naphtha)[cite: 1]. Maintain all handling below the 19°C (66°F) transition point to avoid shear-induced fibrillation before extrusion[cite: 1].
2
Preforming & Paste Extrusion
Compress the blend into a cylindrical preform slug under light pressure of 1.5–2.0 MPa (220–290 psi)[cite: 1]. Extrude at low-to-medium reduction ratios (10:1 to 300:1) to produce cohesive, fibrous green structures[cite: 1].
3
Drying, Calendering & Sintering
Evaporate lubricants in the 100–300°C (212–572°F) range[cite: 1]. Sinter above the melting peak of 345°C (653°F) for void-free articles, or calender/stretch for unsintered/semi-sintered porous tapes[cite: 1].
⚠️
Safety Precautions & US Regulatory Compliance
Thermal Ventilation Protocol
Ensure all drying and sintering ovens are equipped with direct local exhaust ventilation. Processing fluoropolymer resins at elevated temperatures can generate fumes that may cause polymer fume fever if inhaled.
Clean Handling & Dust Control
High sintering temperatures cause even trace foreign airborne particles to char, resulting in optical and mechanical defects[cite: 1]. Store drums tightly sealed in clean, climate-controlled environments[cite: 1].
Food Contact & Medical Guardrails
Properly fully-sintered articles qualify for food contact under FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 and EU No. 10/2011[cite: 1]. Do not use in permanent surgical implants or human bodily fluid contact without authorized written clearance[cite: 1].
