Moldflon™ - the Innovation in Thermoplastics

MoldflonT is a new thermoplastic material with a chemical composition similar to conventional PTFE. The MoldflonT innovation is the ability to process PTFE by injection moulding, a new dimension in cost effectiveness and large volume PTFE-production.

Reduced cold flow and high temperature resistance are the main properties of MoldflonT. Due to its innovative polymer composition, MoldflonT shows lower reduced cold flow properties even compared to compounds based on modified PTFE. This is achieved without the need of accepting the well-known disadvantages of PTFE compound fillers. Among these disadvantages are the limited chemical resistance, enhanced porosity, reduced compliance to specific requirements of application in the presence of food, oxygen or other critical environment. In respect to chemical resistance, anti-adhesiveness, durability and electrical insulation, MoldflonT is at the same level as PTFE.

Broader design options allow the realisation of more complex parts. These complex parts so far could not be produced by machining technology. In addition extrusion of endless profiles, fibres, films as well as transfer-moulding processing is possible.

With its seals and engineering design elements ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik has been one of the technology leaders in its field for over 40 years. We develop tailored solutions from PTFE, PTFE compounds and other high performance plastics. Our solutions meet the toughest demands to be found in the field - with economy and reliability guaranteed.
