Poly Fluoro Limited products

Lubring is a specialized polymer component formulated with PTFE, impregnated with fillers and additives for enhanced wear properties. It is typically available as a sheet ranging from 0.5mm to 4mm thickness, with some applications utilizing bush or thick plate forms. Unlike conventional plastics, Lubring is skived to produce thin sheets instead of being extruded due to its PTFE composition. This material is chemically etched on one side for better adhesion to other surfaces and integrates an epoxy part for improved metal surface wear resistance. Key technical advantages of Lubring include low friction resulting in reduced power loss, no stick-slip for accurate positioning control, substantial specific bearing loads, and minimal wear ensuring long service life. Its chemical resistance makes it compatible with various fluids, and it possesses an impressive temperature resistance along with vibration absorption during machining processes, making it suitable for guideways in machine tools and other linear bearing applications.

Poly Fluoro Ltd. is a renowned manufacturer specializing in PTFE Bridge Bearings, essential for infrastructures like bridges, roadways, pipelines, and buildings subjected to varying loads and movement. The company integrates its expertise in PTFE sheets with advanced bonding techniques and metal fabrication to produce high-quality, durable bearings. These bearings come in two primary forms: Slide Bearings and POT-PTFE Bearings. Slide Bearings consist of PTFE and polished stainless steel, bonded to mild steel plates, designed for loads up to 100 tonnes, with possible lateral movement restrictions and rotational capabilities. POT-PTFE Bearings, designed as per IRC: 83 Part III code, consist of a POT, Piston, and an elastomeric layer, suitable for loads exceeding 50 tonnes. The use of virgin PTFE sheets and different fillers provide enhanced creep properties and friction control. Poly Fluoro Ltd. is an RDSO approved supplier for numerous global infrastructure projects.

Poly Fluoro Ltd specializes in advanced polymer solutions, notably PTFE wear strips and bands designed for hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. These components are engineered to prevent equipment seizures, a common issue with other guidance materials, by offering extremely low friction and break-away forces. Capable of handling temperatures up to 200°C, the strips and bands resist all types of hydraulic fluids and mitigate costly cylinder repairs. The material comprises PTFE with a 40% bronze filling, allowing it to support heavy loads and minimize radial movement in rams and pistons, thus extending the life of associated seals. Known for retrofitting existing bearing grooves, Poly Fluoro’s components eliminate the need for unnecessary equipment modifications and are available in standard groove dimensions to help manage inventory costs. Cut-to-size strips accommodate equipment exceeding 300 mm in diameter, with applications commonly found in shock absorber struts, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of industrial systems.

PTFE bush bearings, developed by Poly Fluoro Ltd, are designed for environments where traditional metal bearings face limitations due to high friction coefficients and where other polymer alternatives fail under vast loads or extreme temperatures. These bushings excel with dry-running capabilities, eliminating the need for lubrication and making them suitable in situations where continuous lubrication isn't feasible and heat build-up poses a challenge. They are notable for their high wear resistance, low moisture absorption, and minimal deformation, providing a durable and long-lasting solution. With a variety of PTFE grades available, it's possible to tailor products to specific application needs, ensuring high performance. While initially more costly than metal alternatives, their longevity and low specific gravity render them economically viable over time. These bearings offer a pragmatic alternative to more expensive branded options like Rulon® or Turcite®, without compromising on performance.
