PTFE

PTFE is an abbreviation for Polytetrafluoroethylene and has numerous applications. It is white in colour when at room temperature and is available in cut sheet or continuous rolls with a maximum width of 1.22 metres. It comes in a range of thicknesses from 0.1mm through to 6mm, however it can be made thicker upon request. PTFE WashersPTFE has excellent coefficient and low friction properties and can be used to provide a non-stick surface. It will retain its high strength, toughness and self-lubrication at extreme low temperatures and still remain flexible at -79°c. This makes this material suitable for moving parts such as bearings and gears.
