PTFE Features/ Properties

Chemical Resistance

PTFE is resistant to virtually all chemicals, even at very high temperature and pressures. It is only affected under certain conditions by elementary fluorine, strong fluorinating agents (such as chlorine trifluoride) and molten alkali metals (such as metals sodium). It contains no additives such as lubricants, stabilizers, plasticizers or antioxidants that can contaminate process fluids.

Temperature Resistance

PTFE components can be used at temperatures ranging from approximately -200oC to +260oC

Electric Insulator

PTFE has excellent electric properties which remain constant independent of frequency and temperature.

Coefficient of Friction

PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of all solid materials; its abrasions resistance is adaptable to demanding environments by using inorganic fillers such as glass fiber, carbon or graphite.

Antistick Effect

PTFE is an anti-adhesive, i.e. other materials do not adhere to PTFE

Service Life

PTFE exhibits excellent retention of properties after a long period of time, even at elevated temperatures and in the presence of oils, solvents, UV light, oxidizing agents and other environmental agents.
