PTFE

PTFE Sheet, PTFE Rods, PTFE Cylinders and PTFE Tube is resistant to practically every chemical known to man and has a surface as slippery as ice on ice to which no substance will adhere. PTFE will operate continuously at 260°C in harsh conditions for long periods. It will not degrade when exposed to long term sunlight.

Alloys and Fillers – As the need for more demanding uses emerge, PTFE can be customised by the addition of fillers to create PTFE compounds with enhanced physical properties to suit particular mechanical applications outside the scope of virgin PTFE.

Virgin PTFE material is unaffected by almost all chemicals, is able to withstand continuous use at high temperatures, has a slippery non-stick surface and outstanding dielectric properties

PTFE compounds have improved resistance to cold flow or creep, reduction in wear and friction, improved dimensional stability and increased stiffness and surface hardness.
