Product Description
The synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene is used to make PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) products. The substance, which is most widely referred to by its trademark name PTFE, is extremely hydrophobic, has one of the lowest coefficients of friction, and is resistant to the majority of chemicals due to its inert nature. To lessen creep under high pressures and temperatures, PTFE gaskets can be strengthened with fillers like carbon or graphite.
To accommodate a broad range of sealing requirements, we precisely cut both virgin and composite PTFE gasket profiles.
Production of PTFE Gaskets
Using in-house CNC equipment, we can cut our PTFE gaskets and seals to exact tolerances in small or large quantities to meet customer specifications. Our manufacturing procedure guarantees accurate, economical, and efficient output.
Our turnkey gasket manufacturing solutions were created to assist customers with prototype and material specification as needed. CAD gasket design, standard and custom manufacturing, and distribution are frequently included in this. Every gasket is provided in accordance with accepted national and international standards.
PTFE's salient characteristics include chemical resistance.
- High dielectric insulating strength,
- Resilience to temperatures between -200oC and +260oC
- Low coefficient of friction
- Good moisture resistance
Materials for PTFE Gaskets
By offering resistance to chemicals, heat, and liquids, PTFE materials can be modified during manufacturing to meet a variety of sealing applications. Virgin, expanded, and filled PTFE are exceptionally adaptable materials that provide stability and good recovery across a broad temperature and pressure range. The material is generally non-corrosive in chemical operations and can be reinforced with fillers like glass, carbon, or speciality composites like metal detecting PTFE.
Expanded Virgin PTFE is a clear choice for applications where connections have worn out or become damaged due to its enhanced compressibility properties. Virgin and expanded materials are provided in accordance with FDA and MHRA regulations.
