Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE (Teflon)

It is resistant to practically every chemical known to man and has a surface as slippery as ice on ice to which no substance will adhere. Tetron (Dotmar’s tradename for Teflon) will operate continuously at 260°C in harsh conditions for long periods. It will not degrade when exposed to long term sunlight.

Alloys and Fillers – As the need for more demanding uses emerge, Tetron PTFE can be customised by the addition of fillers to create PTFE compounds with enhanced physical properties to suit particular mechanical applications outside the scope of virgin PTFE.

Advantages: Virgin Tetron PTFE material

• Unaffected by almost all chemicals
• Continuous use at high temperatures
• Slippery non-stick surface
• Outstanding dielectric properties

Advantages: Tetron PTFE compounds

• Improved resistance to cold flow or creep
• Reduction in Wear and Friction
• Improved dimensional stability
• Increased stiffness and surface hardness
