Product Brief
PTFE Molding Powder HD-101: Superior Heat/Chemical Resistance. Ideal for Sheet/Rod/Tube/Film Molding, Reliable for Multi-Industry High-Demand Applications.
Product Overview
PTFE Molding Process & High-Performance Molding Powder HD-101 refers to a premium polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) molding powder and its dedicated compression molding-sintering process. As a white, translucent PTFE resin produced via specialized polymerization, HD-101 is engineered for molding processes-requiring compression at room temperature followed by sintering above its melting point (327±5℃) to fuse the high-viscosity powder into dense, uniform products. Known as the "King of Plastics," PTFE boasts unparalleled thermal stability (-180~260℃ continuous use) and chemical inertness, and HD-101 inherits these core advantages while optimizing flow and sintering compatibility. This molding solution enables the fabrication of diverse PTFE products (sheets, rods, tubes, films, gaskets) for chemical, industrial, pharmaceutical, electrical, and automotive industries, complying with HG/T3028-1999 standards.
Product Details
What is PTFE Molding Process & HD-101 Molding Powder?
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a linear fluoropolymer synthesized from tetrafluoroethylene monomers. PTFE molding process is a specialized manufacturing method tailored for PTFE's high melting viscosity: it involves two core stages-room-temperature compression molding (to form green compacts) and high-temperature sintering (to fuse powder particles into homogeneous, high-performance products). Our HD-101 PTFE molding powder is a premium white powder with controlled particle size (180±80μm) and optimized properties, specifically designed to match this molding process, ensuring consistent product quality and process efficiency.
Unlike PTFE fine powder (for paste extrusion) or other fluoropolymers like FEP and PVDF, HD-101 PTFE molding powder and its matching molding process excel in producing dense, rigid products with high dimensional stability. FEP and PVDF can be processed via conventional thermoplastic extrusion/injection molding but lack PTFE's extreme temperature and chemical resistance. HD-101's molding process, leveraging its high volume density (500±100 g/l) and low moisture content (≤0.04%), avoids defects like porosity or shrinkage, enabling the production of thick-walled components (e.g., large PTFE sheets) that outperform extruded PTFE products in structural integrity for high-pressure sealing applications.
Key Properties of HD-101 PTFE Molding Powder & Molding Process Advantages
HD-101 PTFE molding powder's properties and its dedicated molding process are precisely optimized for industrial production demands, supported by scientific principles and verified technical data:
● Exceptional Thermal Stability: HD-101 maintains stable properties at continuous operating temperatures of -180~260℃ and can withstand short-term exposure to 300℃. This is attributed to its highly crystalline molecular structure, which resists thermal degradation even in extreme temperature fluctuations-critical for high-temperature industrial equipment components.
● Superior Chemical Inertness: Inert to nearly all industrial chemicals, including strong acids (98% sulfuric acid), strong bases (50% sodium hydroxide), and all organic solvents. The high C-F bond energy (485 kJ/mol) in its molecular structure prevents chemical reactions, making molded products ideal for corrosive fluid handling and sealing in chemical processing industries-surpassing PVDF and FEP in aggressive media resistance.
● Optimized for Molding Process: With an average particle size of 180±80μm and volume density of 500±100 g/l, HD-101 exhibits excellent flowability during compression molding, ensuring uniform filling of molds. Its low moisture content (≤0.04%) prevents steam-induced porosity during sintering. The molding process (compression + sintering) enables precise control of product density, with standard relative density of 2.130-2.160.
● High Mechanical Strength: Grade A HD-101 offers tensile strength ≥27 MPa (qualified grade ≥25.5 MPa) and elongation at break ≥250%, ensuring molded products (e.g., rods, gaskets) have excellent toughness and durability. The sintering process fuses powder particles into a dense structure, enhancing creep resistance-critical for long-term sealing applications under constant pressure.
● Excellent Electrical Insulation: With electric strength ≥60 Kv/mm, HD-101 molded products serve as reliable electrical insulators for high-performance wire cables and electrical components. This property, combined with thermal stability, makes it suitable for high-temperature electrical applications where other fluoropolymers like ETFE may fail.
●Compliance & High Purity: Complies with HG/T3028-1999 standards; Grade A products feature clean, white surfaces with uniform texture and no external contamination. Low moisture and impurity content meet pharmaceutical and food industry requirements, ensuring safe use in sterile fluid handling systems.

PTFE Molding Process Overview
HD-101 PTFE molding follows a two-stage process tailored for its high melting viscosity, ensuring product density and performance:
1.Compression Molding (Room Temperature): HD-101 powder is loaded into a preheated mold, then compressed at controlled pressure (typically 20-50 MPa) at room temperature to form a "green compact"-a solid but porous precursor with the desired shape (sheet, rod, tube).
2.Sintering (High Temperature): The green compact is heated to 360-380℃ (above HD-101's melting point of 327±5℃) in a sintering furnace. The powder particles fuse together as they melt, eliminating porosity to form a dense, homogeneous product. The sintered product is then cooled slowly to room temperature to avoid thermal stress and dimensional distortion.
Key Process Advantages
This process enables precise control of product dimensions and density; suitable for both small and large-scale production; compatible with complex shapes (e.g., custom gaskets); no need for additional plasticizers, ensuring product purity.

FAQ
Q: What is the recommended compression pressure and sintering temperature for HD-101?
A: Recommended compression pressure: 20-50 MPa (room temperature); sintering temperature: 360-380℃; sintering time depends on product thickness (e.g., 2-4 hours for 10mm thick sheets). We provide detailed temperature-time curves for different product sizes upon request.
Q: What's the difference between HD-101 Grade A and Qualified grade?
A: Grade A has higher tensile strength (≥27 MPa vs ≥25.5 MPa for Qualified) and stricter surface cleanliness requirements (no color difference/layering for rods, no external substances). Qualified grade meets basic performance requirements for general industrial applications, while Grade A is ideal for high-demand scenarios (e.g., pharmaceutical, high-pressure sealing).
Q: Can HD-101 be used for injection molding?
A: No. HD-101 is designed for compression molding-sintering processes. PTFE's extremely high melting viscosity makes it unsuitable for injection molding. For continuous products (e.g., thin tubes), we recommend our PTFE fine powder for paste extrusion; for molded parts, HD-101's compression molding process is the optimal solution.
Q: How does HD-101 compare with FEP/PVDF in molding applications?
A: HD-101 (PTFE) offers superior thermal stability (-180~260℃) and chemical inertness vs FEP and PVDF. FEP/PVDF can be processed via conventional thermoplastic methods but lack PTFE's extreme resistance. HD-101's molding process is specialized for PTFE's high viscosity, enabling products for harsh environments where FEP/PVDF fail.
Q: What is the maximum thickness of products that can be molded with HD-101?
A: HD-101 can mold products up to 100mm thick (e.g., large PTFE blocks) with proper sintering parameter adjustment. Thicker products require longer sintering time to ensure complete fusion of powder particles. Our technical team can provide customized process solutions for thick-walled products.
