Material for Micro-Tec CT carbon fibre reinforced PVDF ESD safe plastic probes


             Micro-Tec fibre reinforced plastic probes

 


The material used for manufacturing the Micro-Tec CT series  ESD safe plastic probes is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with 30% carbon fibre.


It is used for the following products:
#52-001050 Micro-Tec CT1 carbon fibre reinforced PVDF probe, fine pointed / strong flat
#52-001051 Micro-Tec CT2 carbon fibre reinforced PVDF probe, curved pointed / strong flat
#52-001052 Micro-Tec CT3 carbon fibre reinforced PVDF probe, sharp flat / large flat
#52-001053 Micro-Tec CTS carbon fibre reinforced PVDF probes, set of all three


General remarks:

  • CT series is plastic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with 30% carbon fibre
  • ESD safe material (avoid powder or dust attraction, avoid spark generation)
  • smooth surface
  • excellent mechanical strength and toughness
  • heat stabilised, high heat capacity with a continuous use temperature of 150°C
  • high purity (clean room and medical devices approved; low extraction value)
  • high abrasion resistance
  • cryo compatible material
  • excellent chemical resistance to most aggressive substances (mineral and organic acids), solvents (hydrocarbons, alcohols, halogenated) and halogens
  • outstanding resistance to hydrofluoric acid (40% conc. / 90°C), nitric acid (50% conc. / 90°C) and hydrochloric acid (36% conc. / 90°C)
  • resistant to UV and nuclear radiation (compatible with this sterilisation)
  • typical applications include tweezers for handling scratch and contamination sensitive components, sample processing with chemicals, cleaning and etching processes.
