PTFE Film: Powder Rolled Thin, a Minute at 400 °C, Quenched (Brubaker & Hanford 1946)

Fed between two smooth rolls set 1–2 thousandths of an inch apart, PTFE powder comes out as a fragile film. One minute in a furnace at 400 °C and a dip in cold water turn it into a tough, flexible film. Rolling it again cold makes it stronger and clearer. Source: M. M. Brubaker and W. E. Hanford (du Pont), US 2,400,099 (1946), Example III. The furnace and quench bucket are ours. Picture drawn by Youblob.

Imiyalelo

1

Set the rolls 1–2 mils apart

Set a pair of smooth calender rolls to a gap of about 1 to 2 mils (0.001–0.002 in).

Roll the powder into film

Feed powdered PTFE between the rolls. The film that comes out is fragile: handle it gently.

CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi

Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.

Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
