PTFE (Teflon)

PTFE (Teflon)

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high-performance engineering plastic known for its very low friction coefficient, excellent chemical resistance, and wide operating temperature range. Thanks to its non-stick surface, it delivers stable performance even under demanding conditions. PTFE materials are resistant to nearly all chemicals and can be safely used in corrosive environments. In addition, its high temperature resistance allows it to maintain performance under extreme operating conditions.

Material Structure and Technical Properties

PTFE has a fluoropolymer structure that provides one of the lowest friction surfaces among engineering plastics. It is suitable for both dry-running applications and systems requiring no lubrication.
  • Very low friction coefficient: Provides extremely smooth sliding performance
  • Excellent chemical resistance: Resistant to acids, bases, and solvents
  • Wide temperature range: Operates between -200°C and +260°C
  • Non-stick surface: Prevents material adhesion and buildup
  • Electrical insulation: High dielectric properties
  • Non-water absorbing: Maintains dimensional stability under moisture exposure

Technical Performance and Application Behavior

PTFE performs exceptionally well in applications involving high temperatures and aggressive chemical exposure. Its low friction reduces wear and extends component life. Its non-stick surface also provides easy cleaning and maintenance, offering significant advantages in food and chemical industries.

Product Forms

PTFE materials are available in the following semi-finished forms:
  • Rod: Suitable for machining and technical component production
