General Info
VICTREX CT™ 200 is a High-performance thermoplastic polymer suitable for dynamic sealing applications at very low temperatures. It also offers a lower static and dynamic coefficient of friction which helps minimize torque and wear, allowing smaller actuators and saving space and weight.
VICTREX CT™ 200 can replace Kel F PCTFE in many sealing applications in cryogenic applications with improved strength, thermal conductivity, superior dimensional stability, and lower coefficient of friction.
Key Benefits:
Higher tensile strength than PCTFE coupled with a lower modulus confirms more ductility across a wider range of temperatures; testing at (-320 F / -196 C to 302 F /150 C) indicates better sealing capabilities than PCTFE which would also extend to higher temperatures in the range of 392 F /200 C.
Improved dimensional stability with a Lower and constant coefficient of thermal expansion ensures more dimensional stability and minimizes the shrinkage at low temperatures.
Higher thermal conductivity permits a faster reaction to temperature changes allowing the seat seal to keep interference with the steel counter-surface at all times – contributing to more consistent sealing.

Resin Trade Names
Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
