Causes of Kyphosis. Kyphosis can occur in people of all ages, but is most common in older patients who suffer from osteoporosis. The condition results from compression of the vertebrae in the spine. Another form of Kyphosis, called postural kyphosis occurs when a person exhibits excessive slouching habits.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an engineered fluoropolymer. Oustanding resistance to chemicals is one of its primary attributes. A broad temperature range of -100Â°F to 500Â°F (-73Â°C to 260Â°C) make this hose material suitable for the majority of fluid and ambient temperature conditions found in industry.
PTFE has a low friction coefficient, and higher melting and operating temperatures. ETFE has the capability to survive in low oxygen environments, and has a high tensile strength rating. Customers must understand all these factors when choosing PTFE or ETFE insulated wires for aerospace applications. Only then will the polymer provide excellent performance and wire protection.
