PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

Essential High-Value Polymer Solutions

PTFE Polytetrafluoroethylene

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a highly useful fluoropolymer made up of carbon and fluorine atoms. PTFE is highly chemically resistant to most chemicals. It cannot melt processible materials, so it is used with different processes such as paste extrusion, isostatic moulding, compression moulding, sintering, and fabrication. PTFE is also used for coating applications for high purity and corrosive chemical processing.

Worldwide, more and more applications are developed with the use of PTFE material, and its truly high-performance plastic is used in hundreds of different applications.

In the PTFE range of products, we have Advecton PTFE grades, and we also distribute (in North America) Other brands from leading companies. We have close relations with major North American and Latin American companies actively working on PTFE compounding, PTFE blends, and PTFE molding products

Some of the properties of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) that make it a unique material with high commercial value are

  • Exception chemical resistance
  • Availability of food, medical and high-purity grades
  • Nonstick, low friction
  • Low water absorption
  • Good resistance to heat and low temperature
  • Strong anti-adhesion properties
  • Good electrical insulating power in hot and wet environments
  • Good resistance to light, UV, and weathering
