Description
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance synthetic fluoropolymer known for its exceptional characteristics, including:
- Very high working temperature tolerance
- Low friction surface
- High electrical resistance
- Non-stick properties
PTFE tubing is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 260°C, making it suitable for the transport of various fluid chemicals and solvents.
This versatile tubing has mechanical, electrical, and medical applications. Its combination of low friction and temperature resistance facilitates its use in:
- Sleeve bearings
- Push-pull cables
- Non-stick roller covers
- Protecting less resistant materials, such as glass and stainless steel
- Insulating electrical components in high-temperature environments
