PTFE

Polytetrafluoroethylene

PTFE seals are highly versatile and reliable sealing solutions used across various industries. Made from polytetrafluoroethylene, a synthetic fluoropolymer, PTFE will offer exceptional resistance to heat, chemicals, and corrosion. PTFE seals have a low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for sealing applications that involve dynamic or rotating components. Their excellent non-stick properties prevent the accumulation of debris, ensuring smooth operation and minimal wear and tear. Furthermore, PTFE seals have superior electrical insulation properties, making them suitable for applications that require resistance to high voltages. Overall, PTFE seals are a proven choice for demanding sealing applications, providing long-lasting and efficient performance in even the most challenging environments.

Features and Benefits:

Due to the structure of PTFE it has a high flexural strength, this means that it will have a high resistance to deformation when it is under load. PTFE is also chemically inert, meaning that it will not react when it comes into contact with certain chemicals. It is also the solid material with the lowest coefficient of friction, this is why PTFE is ideal in applications with dynamic or rotating components. The temperature range for PTFE is an advantage, from -240°C to +260°C, it means it is able to be used at extreme high and low temperatures without it losing its core properties.

Industries:

Due to the chemical inertness and wide temperature range PTFE is commonly used in the Chemical processing solutions, Pharmaceutical seal and Oil & Gas industries. The temperature range and PTFE’s ability to keep its integrity while under load makes it a brilliant choice for the Automotive, Aerospace and Food processing industries. With PTFE’s extreme low temperature range it makes it a vital material used in seal manufacturing for applications in cryogenic conditions. These applications will be found in Medical and scientific research and Aerospace industries.
