Teflon expanded (PFTE), thickness 1.00 mm, sheet dimensions 1200 x 600 mm

Commonly known as TEFLON® (registered trademark of DUPONT®), PTFE is a thermoplastic polymer of tetrafluoroethylene.

This NON-ELASTIC material is distinguished by a number of excellent properties:

- Its multidirectional microstructure guarantees excellent resistance to deformation.
- Suitable for the manufacture of sealing gaskets in flanges against corrosive agents, hydrocarbons, oxygen, gases, water to Except for high temperature gaseous fluorine, chlorine trifluorine and molten alkali metals or in solution.
- Optimal adaptation to flanges, even on rough and imperfect surfaces.
- Very suitable for joints in fragile metal couplings and with modest clamping force.
- It does not stick to the flanges, it does not break when removed, it only requires gentle screwing to the flange.
- Asbestos-free, non-toxic, non-polluting, does not harden.
- It is physiologically harmless up to a service temperature of + 200º C, so it is fully compatible in the industry food and laboratories.
- The electrical insulation properties are exceptionally good. They are almost independent of frequency and influences exerted by temperature and weather conditions.
- Its chemical resistance exceeds that of all elastomers and other thermoplastics. Therefore, there is good resistance to swelling in almost all media. It suffers a slight swelling against fluorinated hydrocarbons.
- The range of thermal application is between -230º C and + 210º C approximately.
- It is completely non-flammable and non-combustible.
- It is not affected by the weather or exposure to the sun.
- Does not absorb moisture.


The following must be taken very important to take in mind when pure PTFE seals are uses:
- The wear resistance is very low.
- Thermal expansion is, as in most plastics, ten times greater than that of metals.
- The thermal conductivity is low, so that the evacuation of heat in moving supports and joints can be problematic.

Aplications:
Given its high chemical resistance and wide temperature range, its field of application is extraordinary, especially in chemical industry, fine mechanics and electrical engineering. Offers high adaptability.

As it complies with FDA requirements, it is recommended for use in the food industry and laboratories.

Available in different thicknesses:
1.00 - 1.50 - 2.00 - 3.00 - 4.00 - 5.00 mm

Available in several standard sizes:
1,200 x 600 or 1,500x1,500 mm
