Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

$0.00

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
