PTFE (Teflon)

About PTFE

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), widely known by the trade name Teflon®, is an engineering fluoropolymer with an unmatched combination of thermal stability, chemical inertness and the lowest friction coefficient of any known solid. It performs continuously from cryogenic temperatures down to -200°C up to +260°C, and is virtually unaffected by any chemical. Used extensively in chemical processing, food production, pharmaceutical, electrical and sealing applications.

Properties

• Extreme temperature resistance -200°C to +260°C
• Lowest friction of any plastic
• Chemically inert to virtually all chemicals
• FDA food contact approved
• Excellent electrical insulation

Available Forms

Sheet, rod and tube in a range of sizes. Cut to length and machined parts available on request.
