PTFE has excellent dielectric
strength. This makes the surface a capacitor resulting
in good insulation. The surface can carry high static charges
and must be used carefully when in close proximity to sensitive
electronic equipment or where dry powders and dust are
in explosive concentrations. To reduce the ability of the
coating to retain a charge, it can be formulated to include
conducting solids such as graphite and metallic compounds,
therefore providing a degree of earthing. For electrical
insulation, coating thickness plays an important role.
To achieve sufficient coating thickness, formulations of
PFA and FEP are normally used.
Over a wide range of frequencies, Teflon® has high dielectric Strength (2.1), low dissipation factor, and very high surface resistivity. By special techniques, it can be made electroconductive and used as an anti-static polymer. Teflon® electrical coatings are widely used in ESP electrical motors, because of their high dielectric strength and temperature resistance. Down-hole data logging cables as well as extention power cables are currently produced with fluoropolymers. With excellent resistance to Ultra Violet and stress cracking coupled with thermal stability, makes Teflon® the perfect choice.
