thyssenkrupp Engineered Plastics

Ptfe Grades

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a high-performance fluoropolymer, is utilized for its non-stick properties, chemical resistance, thermal stability, and electrical insulation. It possesses one of the lowest coefficients of friction among plastics and is weather-resistant, flexible, FDA/USDA compliant, non-flammable, and has a low dielectric constant. PTFE finds common use as a gasket material or in packaging for chemical processing equipment. Its mechanical properties and exceptional slipperiness make it well-suited for bearings, seals, and piston rings in mechanical applications. 

Features and Benefits of PTFE 

  • Low coefficient of friction 
  • Excellent electrical and insulation properties
  • Compliant with FDA/USDA standards
  • High impact resistance
  • Non-flammable
  • Chemically inert 

The mechanical properties of PTFE can be enhanced by adding fillers such as glass fibers, carbon, graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and bronze. thyssenkrupp Engineered Plastics offers extruded, molded, and skived virgin PTFE in sheet, rod, and film forms.
