Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance fluoropolymer renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low friction properties. With a fully fluorinated carbon backbone, PTFE offers near-universal resistance to chemicals and solvents, making it ideal for demanding applications in chemical processing, electrical, medical, and industrial sectors.
Key Properties:
Outstanding chemical resistance, compatible with almost all acids, bases, and solvents
Wide temperature range, typically –200°C to +260°C continuous service
Extremely low coefficient of friction, excellent non-stick and anti-galling properties
High dielectric strength and excellent electrical insulation properties
Exceptional weathering, UV, and radiation resistance
Excellent purity and inertness, suitable for critical and high-purity applications
Common Applications:
Gaskets, seals, and O-rings for chemical and high-temperature environments
Liners, tubes, and hoses for chemical processing and laboratory applications
Non-stick coatings, release films, and bearings
Wire and cable insulation for high-temperature and corrosive conditions
Pumps, valves, and fluid-handling components
Aerospace, pharmaceutical, and medical devices requiring chemical inertness
