    Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a a very dense material having a density of 2.13 – 2.19 grams/cc. PTFE boasts outstanding chemical resistance, with a near-unrivaled ability to withstand corrosive substances, acids, and bases. Its low friction coefficient makes it an excellent lubricant and ensures smooth operation in various applications. PTFE is widely recognized for its nonstick properties, making it a popular choice for cookware coatings. As an electrical insulator, it finds extensive use in the electronics industry. PTFE maintains stability across a wide temperature range, from cryogenic conditions to high temperatures, making it invaluable in diverse industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. Its non-reactivity, durability, and low maintenance requirements contribute to its widespread adoption across multiple sectors.

    Grades

    • Virgin PTFE:
      • This is the pure form of PTFE without any fillers or additives. It retains the excellent chemical resistance and nonstick properties characteristic of PTFE.
    • Filled PTFE:
      • PTFE can be filled with materials like glass fibers, carbon, graphite, bronze, or other substances to enhance specific properties such as wear resistance, thermal conductivity, or dimensional stability.
    • Expanded PTFE (ePTFE):
      • Expanded PTFE is created by stretching PTFE to form a microporous structure. This increases its flexibility and allows it to be used as a gasket material with improved sealing capabilities.
    • Modified PTFE:
      • Modifications may include changes to the molecular structure of PTFE to improve characteristics like tensile strength or reduce creep. Modified PTFE is often used in high-performance applications.
    • Multifilament PTFE:
      • This type of PTFE involves the incorporation of multiple filaments, enhancing its mechanical strength and making it suitable for applications like seals and gaskets.
    • Filled PTFE Compounds:
      • PTFE compounds can be formulated with various fillers to achieve specific performance goals. For example, adding glass fibers can improve mechanical strength, while carbon can enhance conductivity.
