Characteristics and applications of PTFE plate
There are two types of PTFE plates: molding and skiving/turning. The molding plate is made of polytetrafluoroethylene resin by molding at room temperature, and then sintered and cooled. The turning plate is made of PTFE resin by pressing, sintering, and peeling. There are two types of PTFE p...Read more -
Why Choose PTFE for Seals ?
PTFE seals and sealing solutions are used in the more traditional sealing markets like pneumatics and hydraulics as well as in aerospace, energy, oil and gas, the life sciences sector and in the field of renewable energies. Characteristics of PTFESeals made from PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) are...Read more -
Can ptfe be used on gas?
When connecting gas pipelines and their fittings to a stove, grill or other connection, it is important to use polymer tape designed for gas connections and not polymer tape designed for water pipes. polymer tape seals the gas fittings’ threads and keeps leaks from developing. The poly...Read more -
Which elastomer (in general) is better? PTFE or PEEK.
As the vast array of industries had become more demanding with higher temperatures, caustic environments, higher pressures, etc… the standard elastomeric seal could no longer offer the life expectancy needed for companies to remain competitive. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) offers the opportunit...Read more -
Skived PTFE Sheet
Skived PTFE Tape is made with polymer™ fluoroplastic and a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive on one side. Skived PTFE tape is highly conformable with 300% elongation. PTFE tape features superior insulating strength, is non-stick, flexible, high temperature, as well as chemical, heat & mois...Read more -
Can PTFE be recycled?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) plastics are generally opaque, and are an excellent barrier to gas, moisture, and resistance to heat. PTFE shows a remarkable chemical resistance and it is insoluble in all known solvents. It is attacked only by molten alkali metals and fluorine at high temperatures...Read more
