Cavitation-Erosion Wear Resistance of Fluoroplasticics in Model Food Production Media

Abstract

The effect of acidic, alkaline and neutral media on wear kinetics and mechanism for fluoroplastics and polyolefins has been studied. Equations for fluoroplastic and polyolefin wear intensity are obtained based on the thermochemical and mechanical model of their destruction. The values of the activation energies for the surface destruction onset over the entire wear cycle of the polymer surface spherulite are determined.
