High Efficiency Factory Carbon Fiber Packing Impregnated with PTFE to Anguilla Factory

Diagonal braided to form a dense but pliable packing, each carbon fiber is pre-impregnated with PTFE, and re-impregnated during square braided. It is premium service packing for media of weak chemical corrosion and grains of particles exit.

Technical Data Sheet

 Application Area

Resist all the strong corrosive media and media with a few crystal particles with the exception of the strong oxidizing agent polonium, chiefly used for the sealing of the centrifugal pump, column pump, mixer and valves.

I built a physical deposition chamber, for now it’s just evaporative deposition but I plan on adding a few other variants. The thin films created can be used in many ways.
The chamber still has a ton of space leftover and I have some more equipment coming so hopefully I can do more interesting things.
Sorry there’s no footage of lathing the feedthroughs, they worked nice with a cut o-ring and some heat shrink. Make sure you cut a slot down the holding screw threads to vent behind em. The 2 copper feedthroughs allow (with a center tap) 2 tungsten boats with different metals so I can avoid opening the chamber in a multi layer coating.
The pump down takes about 45 min. to get to 10e-5. I can use a small steel hemisphere with a kf40 hose on the top for use with a secondary high vacuum chamber. The shutter was aluminum flashing with some steel stuck on one side so a neodymium magnet on the outside of the bell jar could move it around without a feedthrough.
This build was really fun

I got everything from mcmaster, K.j lesker, ebay and what I already had

This did cost a bit to make:
diffusion pump- $160
mechanical pump-$140
plate- $270 (ouch!)
valves- $90
gauges- $200
misc vacuum stuff -$120
bell jar – $140 (stupid)
other stuff – maybe $100?
