UFLON has been deeply engaged in the research and application of PTFE resin for many years. Oriented by customized solutions, it closely aligns with the development needs of automotive customers in multiple fields such as fuel system optimization, new energy transformation, and core component upgrading.

【Fuel system】

The fuel systems of traditional fuel vehicles always faced problems such as corrosion, leakage, and low efficiency. Especially with the popularization of new media like ethanol gasoline and biofuels, which impose higher requirements on the chemical resistance and sealing performance of components such as PTFE pipes and seals. Our PTFE resin can withstand over 98% of chemical reagents, perfectly solving the problem of easy swelling and deformation of traditional plastics in the fuel environment. It provides reliable material support for customers' fuel system components.

【Fuel transportation pipelines】

In the field of fuel transportation pipelines, our PTFE resin helps customers create high-performance fuel pipes, which lower the permeability, effectively reducing environmental hazards and energy waste caused by fuel leakage. Meanwhile,the extremely low surface friction coefficient (as low as 0.05) of PTFE can reduce the resistance of fuel transportation, helping customers increase the pumping efficiency of fuel pumps by more than 15%.

【Sealing process】

In the sealing process of the high-pressure fuel injector, the sealing ring made by our graphite filled PTFE can withstand a injecting pressure of 140 MPa and has a friction coefficient stable below 0.1. This ensures no leakage after 200,000 start-stop cycles, significantly extending the service life of the customer's product and reducing the maintenance cost.

【Electric vehicle battery】

In the electric vehicle battery system, our PTFE resin offers customers multi-dimensional solutions: as an electrode binder for batteries, it enhances the stability and conductivity of the electrodes; as a battery cell gasket and coating for battery active material equipment, with excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, it protects the battery from corrosion by corrosive electrolytes, prevents leakage risks, and is suitable for a wide temperature range of -80°C to 260°C.

【Electric driving system】

For the sealing requirements of high-speed motors in electric vehicles (with rotational speeds often exceeding 18,000 RPM), the lip seals made by our PTFE resin can prevent frictional overheating or premature failure at high shaft speeds, reducing energy loss, and help customers enhance the efficiency and durability of their electric drive systems.

【Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles】

In the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, our PTFE helps customers overcome the core challenge of high-pressure hydrogen gas sealing. Through a three-layer composite design, the inner layer of PTFE resin achieves low hydrogen gas permeation (permeation rate < 5 cm³/m²·day), effectively preventing the safety hazards caused by hydrogen gas leakage. The middle layer of stainless steel braided mesh enhances the pressure-bearing capacity, and the outer layer of FEP material protects against ultraviolet rays. This provides a reliable sealing and protective solution for the high-pressure hydrogen fuel pipelines of our customers, promoting the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

About UFLON

We always focus on customer needs. While providing high-performance PTFE ,we also help customers reduce production costs and improve production efficiency through technological optimization and process upgrading. In response to the insufficient mechanical strength of PTFE resin, we modify it by adding fillers such as glass, carbon, and graphite.
