<p>A flat semi-finished product (I) comprises a coated plate (4) of a filler containing fluorinated polymer substrate and a coating (2) of fluorinated polymer that is thin and soft in comparison to the plate (4) and at least partially covers the substrate whereby the coating has an average thickness of up to 20 microns and the plate substrate (4) has a Shore D hardness of at least 65. Independent claims are included for (i) a component, preferably a flat seal, prepared from the semi-finished product (I), preferably by stamping (ii) a process for the production of the semi-finished product (I) by mixing a polytetrafluoroethylene powder with a reinforcing phase to form a compound powder and cold pressing the powder to form a hollow cylinder which is then sintered and from which at least one plate (4) is peeled whereby the sintering is carried out under an inert atmosphere, preferably nitrogen and a polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion is applied to at least surface of the plate (4) by dipping, spraying, doctor blading or printing, preferably screen printing to form a coating(2).</p> |
