Advantages of ptfe sliding pipe supports

The simplicity of the bearing design and its ease of fabrication and installation make the unit cost efficient. The costs of a construction can be reduced by designing for expansion rather than strain. Coefficient of friction over the bearing surface remains constant, even under worst case conditions. bearings are maintenance free - PTFE is inherently self - lubricating, while dirt particles are absorbed into the material. Only simple protection is required against the significant increases of dirt.
Dimpled Virgin ptfe -Teflon sheet is hot bonded to CS ( carbon steel ) base plates using proprietary hot bonding method at temperature of 160 º C or above and at a pressure of 250 Kg /cm² which provides much higher peel-off strength between CS plate and ptfe - long service life. Surface irregularity formed during long term sliding movements reported between SS plate and ptfe-Teflon under varying vertical load seen in conventional pipe supports is totally avoided with dimpled ptfe-Teflon with silicon grease - long service life. High melting point Silicon grease applied between dimple ptfe-Teflon and top SS 316 plate will stay in dimples to provide a Lower friction coefficient between ptfe - Teflon and SS316 - long service life. Ptfe-Teflon offered will be of European origin with necessary certifications - quality assurance.
