PTFE - Teflon

PTFE, also known under the name of Teflon, Halon, Algoflon, Fluon, Polyflon, is a perfect electric insulation used in electrical engineering, especially in high frequency technique. Immanent characteristic of PTFE is high density (around 2,2 g/cm3). PTFE is applied in chemical apparatus, building industry, machine building industry, transport techniques, pump and fitting manufacturing, electrical and electronic engineering, laser technique, exhaust gas treatment, water installations, ultrapure cryotechnology, filtration, food producing and medical techniques.
PTFE is resistant to activity of nearly all chemicals, compounds and solvents. It is semi-crystalline, highly effective thermoplastic and one of the most thermal stable product (scope of work: -260 / +260 °C). PTFE can be manufactured with the addition of graphite (or carbon), glass fibres or powdered metal. PTFE is available in white colour.

Typical application of PTFE:

• Seals
• Elements of the fittings
• Valve parts
• Insulating parts in electrical engineering and electronics
• Insulators
• Guides
• Sliding pads
• Membranes
