It is possible to achieve adhesiveless bonding using

In such cases, a different type of polytetrafluoroethylene" j3 e& N) [, k5 o" |/ x
is required.
$ ^, O4 a% p' i' T) L# XPolytetrafluoroethylene for these applications is
% o4 w0 C# l. o% K$ Yknown as “modified” which refers to the presence of- K$ `4 _& b% a
a small amount of a second perfluorinated monomer,
: f- n9 E2 b& W. F \6 |1 u: gknown as a modifier, in its structure. The modifier( E, i% `) a9 L8 X/ E. ?) f
molecule always contains a pendent group. The/ U( a4 ~* @8 ^, D/ t) X/ D& K
preparation method of this type of PTFE has been described

How does it work? A simple explanation is offered
! a* Y+ i3 s5 r& d: I8 X0 Mhere, based on the author’s own experience. The
, c" U! k s3 r4 I$ P2 xmodification reduces the molecular weight of the polymer,. N" `+ @/ r, B
which in turn reduces its melt viscosity. Lower

entanglement of polymer chains at the bonding interface.4 n" O; V2 q0 q% k1 ]' A
The pendent group of the modifier disrupts the

Quality of a welded area is defined by the strength' i3 Y; i1 \1 s2 a
