Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance plastic known for its exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical resistance. With its low friction coefficient and non-stick properties, PTFE is widely used across multiple industrial sectors, ensuring reliability and long-term durability.
At Teknofluor Srl, we offer a wide range of PTFE gaskets, along with standard PTFE tubes, always available from our stock.
Technical Features of PTFE
PTFE is extensively used in various industries due to its unique characteristics:
Chemical Resistance: PTFE is chemically inert to most substances, making it ideal for applications requiring high corrosion resistance.
Thermal Stability: Maintains its properties across a wide temperature range (-200°C to +260°C) without degradation.
Low Friction Coefficient: Its smooth surface provides excellent non-stick and self-lubricating properties, reducing component wear.
Dielectric Properties: Exceptional insulation capabilities, making it suitable for electrical and electronic applications.
Food-Grade Compliance: PTFE meets FDA standards, making it perfect for the food and beverage industry.
