TFM™ Modified PTFE
TFMTM is a trademark of DyneonTM, a 3MTM company. Almost identical in chemical composition to Teflon, TFMTM is made by adding a very small amount of a different fluorine structure to the polymer chain. This results in is an equally pure, equally chemically resistant, fluoropolymer with better properties.
- TFMTM will not shed layers like PTFE.
- TFMTM has less porosity than PTFE (so vapors don’t pass through as easily)
- TFMTM holds its shape under compression better
- TFMTM has better flexibility and flex-life
- TFMTM compliance meets that of Teflon (FDA, USP and more)
Not all modified PTFE is made the same, and different grades give different properties and performance. Newman has done the work to choose genuine DyneonTM TFMTM and the best grades from Dyneon for the application. Whether it is gaskets, Newman NewFloTM diaphragms, or composite parts, Newman compounds perform and last.
Silverback™ (50/50 blend of TFM™ and 316 Stainless Steel)
Take the performance of TFMTM and add low carbon, passivated, high purity Stainless Steel for stiffness, and Newman Silverback™ material is the result.
- Silverback™ gaskets outperform other materials in continuous steam exposure
- Silverback™ gaskets have the chemical resistance of PTFE
- Silverback™ gaskets are FDA and USP Compliant
- Silverback™ gaskets can be used from extreme cold to extreme heat: -110°F (-78 °C) to 400°F (204 °C)
- Silverback™ gaskets can outlast most other materials in continuous and multi-use processes.
Although best used in fairly constant temperature processes, Newman Silverback™ can also be used with thermal swings, provided that appropriate hardware and gasket conditioning is considered. Contact Newman for technical support.
