PTFE

What Is PTFE?

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer that has numerous industrial applications, including use in compressed air systems. PTFE is an excellent choice for compressed air systems due to its unique properties. This includes chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, and low coefficient of friction.

Compressed air systems often handle various chemicals, gases, and other corrosive substances that can cause damage to the system’s components. PTFE resists most chemicals and acids, ensuring that the system remains functional and safe.

As well, PTFE is its high-temperature resistance. Compressed air systems generate heat during operation, and the high temperatures can cause many materials to degrade or fail over time. Our PTFE can withstand high temperatures, ensuring that it maintains its properties and functionality even in extreme conditions.

PTFE also has a low coefficient of friction, making it an excellent choice for components that require low friction and easy movement. It is commonly used in compressed air system components such as seals, gaskets, and bearings. By reducing friction, PTFE components can increase the overall efficiency of the system, reduce wear and tear on the components, and extend their lifespan.
