PTFE known as Teflon® (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic having the lowest coefficient of friction of any plastic material with excellent release properties. Superior thermal & electrical insulating properties, flame resistant & chemically inert to most substances. Can have fillers added to alter the physical & mechanical properties. Available in rod, tube, sheet, skived films & self-adhesive tapes. Service temperatures from -200/+260°C, short term to +300°C.
4mm to 300mm OD
3.5mm ID to 300mm OD
0.025mm to 100mm Thick

Most grades of PTFE are suitable for food contact. Optical blue & x-ray detectable PTFE grades also available. Food Certification documentation can be supplied at time of order to align with your production batch (charges apply).
The physical & mechanical properties of PTFE can be altered to increase performance by adding glass, graphite, carbon, bronze or molybdenum disulphide. Glass for example will increase wear resistance, carbon improves abrasion properties.
