PTFE is a material that is frequently used in critical applications. PTFE is resistant to high temperatures, is chemically resistant and has a very low friction coefficient. Various fillers can be mixed with PTFE base powder to improve properties. As fillers, we use glass fiber, glass beads, carbon, graphite, molybdenum disulfide and bronze, among others. PTFE can only be glued after etching the material.
PTFE & Teflon® PTFE applications are widely used in many different industries:
Petrochemical and chemical processing
This material is ideally suited for gaskets, coatings, pump parts, rings, seals, spacers and dip pipes because it is resistant to corrosion and chemically inert; it is resistant to almost all acids and alkalis in environments up to 260 degrees Celsius.
Electronic applications
PTFE is one of the best insulators. In thinner foils, it will insulate up to 500 volts per mil. We also provide qualities that have even greater dielectric strength. It is often used in wire and cable coverings and to insulate conductive surfaces. This versatile material can be incorporated into various insulators and high-voltage components for electrical installations.
Semiconductor industry
PTFE is inert and has a temperature range of minus 200 degrees Celsius to 260 degrees Celsius. The material is ideally suited for various items used in chip production, including encapsulation of quartz heater devices, etc.
Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industry
Virgin PTFE has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the food, beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Foil and plates create an inert, non-toxic smooth surface. Transport components - profiles, guide rails and slides - are resistant to high temperatures in baking and/or drying ovens or other heated processes used for food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical production processes.
Laboratory applications
Pipes, tubes and vessels used in various laboratory products due to their chemical resistance and inertia. No adhesion of contaminants to the surface.
Offshore
PTFE has the lowest friction coefficient of all plastics, PTFE can be cut or stamped into sliding plates, is resistant to weather influences, and is also an inert connection between disparate building materials, such as steel and concrete.
General properties:
PTFE Fillers
Various fillers can be mixed with the PTFE base powder to improve certain properties, for example glass fiber, glass beads, carbon, graphite, molybdenum disulfide, bronze, etc.
PTFE glueability
Untreated PTFE is difficult to glue; bonding is only possible by etching the PTFE.
