Fluon Aviation Ad 1957

'FLUON' P.T.F.E. is now available from I.C.I. in coagulated dispersion form. This type of polymer has been specially developed for the extrusion of thin wall tubes and for wire covering. Besides having the extreme chemical resistance, wide service temperature range, excellent dielectrical and insulating properties, very low coefficient of friction and non-stick characteristic of granular 'Fluon', coagulated dispersion polymer extrusions are remarkable for their excellent flexural fatigue behaviour.

As a reinforced flexible hose material it is quite without equal and the aircraft industry, in particular, has been quick to recognise its potentialities in the handling of fuels, lubricants and hydraulic fluids. No other hose line is capable of handling such a wide range of liquids and gases and only molten alkali metals and certain fluorine compounds are known to attack. It can be used at temperatures up to + 250 Deg C and down to at least - 80 Deg C while its smooth bore does not restrict flow. Although a thermoplastic and not a rubber it is nevertheless flexible, its shelf life is indefinite and its performance consistent and reliable.
