What PTFE SHEET used for
Owing to its low friction, PTFE sheet is used for applications where sliding action of parts is needed such as plain bearings, slide plates, etc. In these applications, it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal and it is comparable to UHMWPE, although not as resistant to wear. It’s extremely high bulk resistivity makes it an ideal material for fabricating long-life electrets, which are useful devices being the electrostatic analogues of magnets. In optical radiometry, sheets made from PTFE are used for measuring heads in spectroradiometers and broadband radiometers (e.g., luminance meters and UV radiometers) due to its capability to diffuse a transmitting light nearly perfectly. PTFE sheets have high corrosion resistance and used in laboratory environments as containers for materials such as fluoroantimonic acid.
