Virgin PTFE

Virgin PTFE is a highly versatile fluoroplastic with exceptional properties. Thanks to its extremely low coefficient of friction, excellent chemical resistance, and stability across a wide temperature range, it is among the most commonly used engineering plastics. It is electrically non-conductive, resistant to aging, and moisture.

It is resistant to almost all chemicals, possesses excellent sliding properties, and high resistance to aging. The material is FDA approved, allowing its use in the food industry. Due to its lower elasticity, pure PTFE is not suitable for higher mechanical loads. The material also has lower abrasion resistance. For more demanding applications, it is therefore more advantageous to use one of the filled PTFE variants.

Material temperature resistance: -200 °C to +260 °C

Product examples and applications:

Seals and insulating elements, sliding rings and washers, parts for the chemical industry, electrical insulation components, food and pharmaceutical applications, tank and pipe linings, sliding bearings and valves.
