Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a remarkable polymeric material. Not only is it highly chemical resistant, durable, flexible, and electrically and thermally resistive, it is also an extremely cost-effective option for high-performance seals and ‘O’ rings. Here, Antliaworks Polymer Solutions talks you through PTFE’s uses and properties.

• Bellows • Rubber/ Silicone Cords
• Anti-vibration pads • Styrene Butadiene Rubber products
• Rubber/ Silicone Gaskets • Rubber Spider Coupling
• Heat Exchanger Gaskets • Chevron Packing
• Rubber/ Silicone/PTFE O rings • Rubber Grommets
• PTFE Parts • Silicone Tubing

The benefits of PTFE

Due to PTFE’s prevalent carbon-fluorine bonds – widely regarded as the strongest single bond in organic chemistry – it offers high flexural strength and is chemically inert. It also provides excellent electrical insulation and dielectric strength; is extremely weatherable and non-adhesive; is water-resistant; offers high-temperature resistance and has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid.
PTFE also features a broad operating temperature range, from -30°C to +200°C, has a hardness range of 70 to 85 IRHD and is easy to clean. Best of all, given all of these admirable traits, PTFE it is a relatively cost-effective elastomeric option for seals and ‘O’ rings. The disadvantage of PTFE as a sealing material is that it will creep under compression. Antliaworks have solved this problem by using a bonded rubber core to energize PTFE seals, providing resistance to compression. The core material is selected depending upon the temperature required for the seal.

What is PTFE used for?

PTFE’s beneficial properties enable it to be used in a wide range of applications, such as seals (including PTFE ‘O’ rings), PTFE gaskets, valves, wire insulation, insulated transformers, bearings, surface coatings, chemical processing equipment, chemical transport, and PTFE rubber diaphragms – to name but a few.

Chemical & Refineries:

AODD Pump can manage all types of chemicals admit acids, bases, solvents and alkalis, resins and adhesives, high-density liquids and viscous products even with the presence of solid parts and particles. Moreover, they can also transfer oil skimming, oil sludge, stormwater, seawater, drainage water, latex, corrosion inhibitors, fertilizer, pesticides, insecticides and more.

The AODD Pump finds application in the pumping of raw materials and derivatives, stormwater drainage, unload trucks, sump, and tanks drainage, empty the cistern and to be used in wastewater treatment, desalination plants, scrubber’s application, distillation plant, and filters press.

PTFE’s chemical resistance

The chemical resistance of PTFE is potentially its most impressive characteristic. Simply put, there are no solvents that can dissolve PTFE at room temperature. In fact, barring a handful of chemical agents, including chlorine trifluoride and elementary fluorine, PTFE’s only real Achilles heel is its relatively poor resistance to high energy radiation, which causes the breakdown of the PTFE molecule.
Antlia Engineering Works is one of the most important manufactures peristaltic pump and AODD pumps in Australia, middle east, Africa & all over India. One can choose pumps that top-grade suits their needs.

Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pump Guide | Antliaworks

Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pump Guide | Antliaworks Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps have a range of applications across various industries. Here, we shares the tips and tricks he’s picked up when it comes to maintaining AODD pumps. AODD pumps are the real workhorses of the industrial pump world and are used in a wide range of industries. These include chemicals, food processing, paints, electronics, road construction, maintenance for industrial processes, electricity production facilities, food processing, wastewater and sludge processing, and mining.They are self-priming, will run dry without doing any damage and use no electricity. Powered completely from compressed air, they are used in applications where electricity is not available or must not be used, such as hazardous or explosive situations or at remote sites.

OPTIMIZING USAGE OF AIR IN AODD PUMPS

In the industrial areas, there are some important operational costs – whether in the chemical processing, food & beverage, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, or mining industries – are the ones incurred for the purchase, operation & maintenance of pumps used during different production & transfer. One hidden component from the operating-cost perspective is the electricity used by double diaphragm pump , as per a study done by the Hydraulic Institute, account for nearly 20 percent of the world’s electricity demand. Assuming 7 cents per kilowatt/hour that equates to approximately $294 billion to operate diaphragm pump. Therefore, energy consumption can make up close to 90 percent of the total life-cycle costs of owning & operating a pump. Approximately 30 to 50 % of the energy consumed by pump systems can be saved by using air operated double diaphragm pump. Considering all the usage estimates, simple calculation reveals that up to $147 billion of electricity costs ...

Double Diaphragm Pump

What’s a double diaphragm pump? An air worked double diaphragm pump (also known as a Double-Membrane pump, pneumatic diaphragm pump or air-worked diaphragm pump) is a positive displacement pump that utilizes a mix of the responding activity of an elastic, thermoplastic or Teflon/pate diaphragm and appropriate valves on either side of the diaphragm (check valve, butterfly valves, fold valves, or some other type of stop valves) to pump a fluid. Diaphragm Pumps also known as Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump ( AODD pump ), is a sort of responding positive displacement pump in which fluid is pumped by a responding diaphragm, which is driven by a solenoid, mechanical drive, or fluid drive. Different forms are air worked Pump has inlet & outlet check values. Diaphragm pump has great dry running qualities; they can be up to 97% effective. Diaphragm Pumps can deal with exceedingly thick fluids. A double diaphragm pump is known as a positive displacement pump. It utilizes t...
