PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a specialised engineering plastic featuring various outstanding properties including: Non-stick surface to which no substance will adhere, resulting in low friction as well as excellent sliding & release capabilities; Chemical, solvent, corrosion & UV resistance; High temperature stability, capable of continuous use at incredibly high temperatures up to 260 degrees centigrade; and increased insulating and dielectric capabilities. If you require a tough engineering plastic which performs well at high temperatures and in aggressive atmospheres, Polytetrafluoroethylene is the ideal choice.
Features and Benefits of PTFE:
Lowest coefficient of wear & friction
Good creep resistance
Outstanding heat resistance
Dimensionally stable with increased rigidity
Completely resistant to most chemicals
Excellent dielectric properties
Uses of PTFE:
Chemical linings
Slide bearings
Valve Seats
O-rings, glide rings, piston rings, lanern rings & back up rings
Electrical and thermal insulators
Seals
Wear plates
Chevrons
Bushes
Packing
Bearings in chemical pumps
Envelope gaskets
Bellows
PTFE is available in the following forms and sizes:
PTFE SHEETS
Thickness: 3 – 50 mm
Size: 610 x 610mm
Thickness: 3 – 10 mm
Size: 1220 x 1220mm
PTFE ROD
Outside Diameter: 10 – 50 mm
Length: 2m
Outside Diameter: 50 – 150mm
Length: 300mm
PTFE CYLINDER
Outside Diameter: 36 – 639mm
Length: 150 – 300mm
PTFE TAPE ROLLS
0.25 – 3mm thick x 1200mm wide
EOS (Etched one side) for bonding to steel also available
PTFE COILED TUBE:
Imperial: 0.125 – 1.1″
Outside Diameter: 36 – 625 mm
Colours: Natural (white)
PTFE rod and cyilinder an be filled with carbon, glass or bronze fibres for specialty purposes and enhanced performance:
Carbon fillers are self lubricating & conductive;
Glass fillers are abrasive and increase dimensional stability, hardness & wear resistance;
Bronze fillers are a non-abrasive alternative to glass, also providing increased dimensional stability, hardness & wear resistance
As with all of our engineering plastics, PTFE rod, sheet, cylinder, tape & tube can be cut to size and custom fabricated as required. All products and services we provide are available to the general public, including custom design and fabrication. Limited engineering plastics and adhesives are available on our eBay store.
