Hindustan Nylons an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Company Manufactures Chemically Modified PTFE Products such as Moulded bushes, Moulded rods, Skived sheets, Expansion joints, Gaskets, Valves & Pump components in virgin as well as Filled Grades.

To over come some of the weaknesses of conventional PTFE , scientists has developed the new chemically modified PTFE available as Dupont's Teflon Nxt or Dalkin's TFM and have improved some of the properties for the benefit of consumers.

Improvements At a Glance :
  • Less Creep.
  • Improved Permeation Resistance.
  • Smoother Surfaces.
  • Less Porous.
  • Better High Voltage Insulation.
  • New Fabricating Versatility with welding.

Chemically Modified PTFE parts offers new opportunities for designing & engineering high performance products to get following working advantages.

Improved Creep Resistance :
As PTFE Gasketing & Sealing materials used in chemical process industries, due to improved creep resistance & increased stiffness even at elevated temperatures. The modified PTFE components can be used for higher pressure conditions.

Enhanced Permeation Resistance :
The vessal linings, Tubings, Sealing materials, Expansion joints, Made out of modified PTFE have more life & less / near zero leakage due this enhanced permeation resistance.

Superior Surface Finish :
The Components, surfaces made out of modified PTFE have superior surface finish with silky / glossy surfaces. The components remain absolutely clean as there is virtually no place for impurities to get a grip.

Reduced Porousity :
The parts made out of modified PTFE have low microvoid content, thus showing the transmigration of aggressive liquids & gases through.

Better High Voltage Insulation :
Modified PTFE allows better high voltage insulation giving new opportunities to improve performance particularly in electrical applications.

Weldability :
The threaded joints / snug fit joints can be avoided by using directly welded part to part, thus reducing the risk of leakage through threaded joints.
