Virgin PTFE

Virgin PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, known as Teflon) has the best chemical resistance of all plastics, very good electrical properties and a low coefficient of friction. Its mechanical and thermal properties improve when different fillers are added.

Colours: White.

Main characteristics

• Very low coefficient of friction.
• Wear resistance not particularly good.
• Very good electrical insulation, with very low dielectric losses.
• Wide service temperature range, from -270 °C to +260 °C.
• Resistant to weathering and light.
• Suitable for food contact and medical use.

Typical uses

• Chemical, food and aerospace industries.
• Tubes, gaskets, packings, bellows, valves, pump parts, laboratory equipment, filters, membranes, etc.
• Industry in general.
