The basic knowledge of PTFE brake lines

Characteristics of the PTFE brake hose

PTFE,The full name Polytetrafluoroethylene, or perfluoroethylene, is a high-molecular-weight polymer with excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion, and wear. It is widely used in various fields such as aerospace, electronics, medicine, and chemistry.

PTFE characteristics include:

Excellent resistance to high and low temperatures: PTFE can be used over a wide range of temperatures, from -65°C to 260°C, and has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures.

Excellent corrosion resistance: PTFE has excellent corrosion resistance against most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, and is widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical fields.

Excellent wear resistance: PTFE has a low friction coefficient and excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for use in lubrication and sealing applications.

The working principle of PTFE brake lines

The working principle of PTFE brake lines is based on the caliper principle. The brake line system works similarly to traditional brake systems. When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake master cylinder injects brake fluid into the brake cylinder, pushing the brake shoes against the brake disk to achieve braking. However, the difference between PTFE brake lines and traditional brake systems is that PTFE brake lines are made of perfluoroethylene material, which has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion, and wear, making them suitable for use in various adverse environments.

The comparison of PTFE brake lines with other brake systems

Compared to other brake systems, PTFE brake lines have the following advantages:

High reliability: PTFE brake lines have excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion, and wear, ensuring that they can work stably and effectively in various adverse environments for a long time, with high reliability.

Light weight: PTFE brake lines are made of perfluoroethylene material, which has excellent wear resistance, making them lighter and more efficient in terms of performance and efficiency.

High efficiency: The caliper principle of PTFE brake lines can achieve faster brake response, improving brake efficiency and reducing brake distance.

PTFE brake lines also have some disadvantages, such as relatively high prices and complex installation. However, with the continuous development of PTFE brake line technology, their prices and installation difficulties are continuously reducing.
