PTFE Sheet

PTFE Sheet is made of a high molecular weight fluoropolymer named Polytetrafluoroethylene, commonly referred to as PTFE. PTFE is a fluorocarbon, meaning it consists wholly of carbon and fluorine bonds and it is non-reactive in part because of the strength of the carbon-fluorine bonds. PTFE Sheet material is hydrophobic, and it possesses excellent thermal and electrical insulating properties. It has a high tensile strength. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction out of any solid.

Advantages of PTFE Sheet

1. PTFE sheet is great material for high-temperature and low-friction applications. It has a number of advantages that make it a good choice:
2. Its coefficient of friction is the third-lowest of any known solid material
3. It has excellent dielectric properties and is suitable for use as a material for printed circuit boards used at microwave frequencies
4. PTFE sheet is one of the most thermally stable plastic materials displaying no appreciable decompositions at 260°C and retaining most of its properties
5. Its high melting temperature makes it a good choice as a high-performance substitute for the weaker and lower melting point polyethylene that is commonly used in low-cost applications

Applications
Commonly manufactured into gaskets and seals, bushings, slide bearings, insulators, washers, slide plates and chemical linings for use across a broad range of industries.
