PTFE Tapes Made with Polymer Fluoropolymers Part 4
PTFE Polymer tape is a very thin white tape used to wrap the threaded ends of metal and plastic pipes to lubricate the threads and prevent leaks where pipes join. The thin tape fills the minute gap between the male and female pipe threads stopping water leaks. Super Smooth Tape made with PTFE flu...Read more -
Why Choose PTFE Material for Machine Parts?
PTFE parts are easy to machine, affordable and long lasting. Parts made of this unique plastic are often used in mechanisms that rotate or slide due to PTFE’s low coefficient of friction and wear resistance…… PTFE stands for Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, it is a fluorocarbo...Read more -
Difference Between Nylon and PTFE
Nylon and PTFE are manmade synthetic polymers that are most widely used in the polymer industry. Nylon is a polyamide and polymer is a fluoro polymer. Both of them possess a high molecular weight and they are thermoplastics. PTFE is a water phobic, chemically less reactive material with...Read more -
The Chemical Resistant Properties of PTFE Ring Gaskets
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), is a synthetic fluoropolymer and the most chemically resistant plastic known. It is able to handle a wide range of applications and conforms to both AMS and FDA specifications, making it suitable for aerospace, medical, and food production industries. The ga...Read more -
Debunks the PTFE Pan/PFOA
A coating of polymer or polytetrafluoroethylene on cookware produces a nonstick surface. Available for more than 60 years, polymer helps prevent eggs and pancakes from sticking in a skillet. Unfortunately, the polymer coating chips off when scratched by rough-edged kitchen utensils or abrasive sc...Read more -
Convoluted Low-Profile PTFE Lined Hose
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an engineered fluoropolymer. Oustanding resistance to chemicals is one of its primary attributes. A broad temperature range of -100°F to 500°F (-73°C to 260°C) make this hose material suitable for the majority of fluid and ambient temperature conditions found in ...Read more
