PTFE Sheet, Rods, Cylinders & Tube

PTFE Sheet, PTFE Rods, PTFE Cylinders and PTFE Tube 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. PTFE 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, 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 of Virgin PTFE material:

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

Advantages of PTFE compounds:

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

PTFE Sheet, Rod, Cylinders and Tube:

• Tetron S Unfilled, natural
• Tetron S : U-Cut Gaskets
• Tetron S : V-Cut Gaskets
• Tetron S : Pipeline
• Tetron G - Higher compressive strength abrasive wear
• Tetron LG - Improved wear resistance, creep resistance and  flexural modulus compared to Tetron S
• Tetron HG - High percentage glass filled PTFE for reduced creep and wear
• Tetron C - Highest wear and creep resistance
• Tetron B - High wear and abrasion resistance, reduced chemical resistance
• Tetron GR - High wear and creep resistance
• Tetron BL - Low heat conductivity (Note - available, etched one side to accept adhesives)
• Tetron PTFE and FEP Tubing
• Tetco V- Lower deformation under load
• Ticomp S - High heat and wear resistance; high ductility and elongation

Properties of PTFE Sheet, Rod, Cylinders and Tube: 

• Excellent chemical resistance
• Lowest co-efficient of friction
• Highest operating temperature and stability
• Physiologically inert
• Excellent electrical properties
