Style 1140-01Mechanical Grade PTFE Sheet

Product Line Sheet

Construction/ Description

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a high molecular weight polymer and one of the most versatile plastics. It has excellent electrical properties, low coefficient of friction ,and non-stick properties. Mechanical grade PTFE sheet can handle virtually all chemicals in the 0-14 pH range with the exception of molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. It is suitable for service at temperatures from the cryogenic range up to 500ºF.

Application / Service

It is particularly recommended for applications in the industrial and process industries where high purity metals are required. It is excellent for handling water, steam, chemicals, most organic solvents, corrosives, hydraulic fluids, and gases.
