Teflon (P.T.F.E.) Sheets, Rods & Bushes

Description :

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a strong, tough, waxy, non-flammable synthetic resin produced by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. Known by such trademarks as Teflon, Fluon, Hostaflon, and Polyflon, PTFE is distinguished by its slippery surface, high melting point, and resistance to attack by almost all chemicals. These properties have made it familiar to consumers as the coating on non-stick cookware. It is also fabricated into industrial products, including bearings, pipe liners, and parts for valves and pumps.

Characterestics
  • Exception chemical resistance
  • Good resistance to heat and low temperature
  • Good electrical insulating power in hot and wet environments
  • Good resistance to light, UV and weathering
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Low dielectric constant/dissipation factor
  • Strong anti-adhesion properties
  • Flexibility
  • Good fatigue resistance under low stress
  • Availability of food, medical and high-purity grades
  • Low water absorption
Application
  • Machine parts: The extremely low friction of Teflon makes it ideal for making machine parts, such as gears, bearings, pipe linings, joints, slide plates, bushings, O-rings, and saw blades. There is a lot of sliding action in the working of such machine parts. The low friction and self-lubricating property of Teflon decreases wear and tear and increases the life of machinery
  • Insulator: Teflon has excellent dielectric properties, especially at high radio frequencies. This property is useful for its use as an insulator in cables and connector assemblies
  • Medicine: The chemical inertness of Teflon makes it apt for making artificial body parts.
  • Food and Pharmaceuticals Industries: Teflon is a food grade material and is used widely in many food and pharma industries where there is direct contact of food/medicine with the material. It does not contaminate the food/medicine
