Abstract

A combination of a dispenser for dispensing portions of sealing material and a sealing material in the form of a flexible film, wherein the sealing material comprises polytetrafluoroethylene film having the following parameters: a film thickness of 50 to 500 μm; a density between 1.20 and 1.80 g/cm3; a longitudinal strength of more than 11 N/mm2; a transversal strength of more than 2 N/mm2; a longitudinal elongation of more than 200%; and a transversal elongation of more than 1000%.

Claims (24)

1. Combination of a dispenser for dispensing portions of sealing material with a sealing material in the form of a flexible film, wherein the dispenser comprises cutting means for cutting off portions of sealing material and wherein the sealing material is perforated to form predetermined portions of sealing material and comprises polytetrafluoroethylene and has the following parameters:

a film thickness of 50 to 500 μm;

a density between 1.20 and 1.80 g/cm3;

a longitudinal strength of more than 11 N/mm2;

a transversal strength of more than 2 N/mm2;

a longitudinal elongation of more than 200%; and

a transversal elongation of more than 1000%.

2. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing material comprises undrawn polytetrafluoroethylene.

3. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing material comprises additives with a lamellar crystal structure.

4. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing material comprises talc as an additive.

5. The combination according to one claim 4 , wherein the sealing material contains between 0.5 wt.-% to 2.0 wt.-% talc.

6. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser comprises means to define the size of portions of sealing material to be cut off before the cutting means is operated.

7. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film of sealing material is formed as a roll and stored in the dispenser.

8. The combination according to claim 7 , wherein the flexible film sealing material is wound around a guiding device of the dispenser.

9. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser comprises a container for receiving a dispensing quantity of sealing material as well as a refill quantity of sealing material.

10. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser comprises a container including a quantity of sealing material arranged for dispensing as well as a refill quantity of sealing material.

11. The combination according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser comprises a scale configured to indicate an amount of the sealing material dispensed from the dispenser.

12. A combination of a dispenser for dispensing portions of sealing material and a flexible polytetrafluoroethylene film sealing material arranged for dispensing by the dispenser, wherein the polytetrafluoroethylene film sealing material is perforated to form predetermined portions of sealinq material and has the following parameters:

a film thickness of 50 to 500 μm;

a density between 1.20 and 1.80 g/cm3;

a longitudinal strength of more than 11 N/mm2;

a transversal strength of more than 2 N/mm2;

a longitudinal elongation of more than 200%; and

a transversal elongation of more than 1000%.
