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.
Virgin Grade PTFE Rods, Sheets & Tubing exhibit the following characteristics: 1  Lowest coefficient of friction of any known material. 2  PTFE operates up to 500Â° F. 3  Tremendous chemical resistance.  PTFE is an excellent insulator of heat and electrical 1  charges. Limitations: PTFE has low compressive & tensile strength.
