Material Construction and Performance

The microspheres create a more compressible formulation, but mechanical strength properties differ from those of denser filled PTFE compounds.

Key Verification Points Prior to Substitution

Allowable bolt load, flange geometry, and thermal transients are critical factors on fragile assemblies.

To compare constructions: TEADIT TF 1510 and TEADIT TEALON TF 1570. The presence of microspheres alone does not imply equivalent approvals, mechanical properties, or operating parameters.
