PTFE Materials

PTFE material has very unique heat and chemical resistance. There are many ways of using PTFE for gaskets.

VIRGIN PTFE
VIRGIN PTFE
PTFE is a soft, low friction fluoropolymer with outstanding chemical resistance and weathering resistance.
 - White in colour.
 - Supplied in rolls: 1220mm wide.
 - Thickness: 0.5mm to 10mm (8mm and 10mm only available in sheets).
 - Recommended Maximum Temperature: 220°C.
 - Recommended Services: Bushings, gaskets, food industry, where good chemical resistance is required.
PTFE ENVELOPES
PTFE ENVELOPES
PTFE envelope gaskets consist of a stable gasket insert and a PTFE envelope. Only high-quality, non-porous PTFE is used for the envelope, to protect the insert against chemical attack.
 - White in colour.
