Teflon (PFTE)
Description
Teflon sheets (PTFE) are widely used in industrial environments for their exceptional non-stick properties and excellent heat resistance. They also offer very good chemical resistance, making them a material of choice for demanding environments where the goal is to limit adhesion, reduce friction and ensure stable performance over time. PTFE is especially relevant for coating, sliding and insulation applications, both in the food industry and in many manufacturing sectors.
Usage
- Non-stick coatings for food processing equipment, depending on the application.
- Sliding surfaces and low-friction parts: wear pads, strips, guides and slides.
- Molds and parts for injection molding, for non-stick performance and easy release.
- Components for printing machines, such as guides, plates and wear parts.
- Gaskets, washers, sealing strips and parts exposed to chemicals.
- Electrical applications: insulators, spacers and technical parts, depending on the need.
Features
- Non-stick properties: greatly reduces material adhesion.
- Very low coefficient of friction: excellent for sliding and reducing wear.
- Excellent heat resistance, with a maximum operating temperature of 260°C / 500°F.
- Very good resistance to chemicals and corrosion.
- Good electrical insulator.
- Stable and durable material in demanding conditions.
Please note: PTFE is more flexible than other engineering plastics, which may influence the choice depending on the rigidity required.
Dimensions
Several thicknesses available.
- Formats: sheets available in various sizes depending on inventory.
- Thicknesses: wide selection available upon request depending on the application and desired level of rigidity.
