Frequently Asked Questions
Which sheet thickness should I choose for my application?
Select the thickness based on the load, span and machining requirements of your component. Thinner sheets such as 10 mm and 16 mm suit lighter duty parts and spacers, while 20 mm and 25 mm are better for load-bearing components, larger machined profiles or where additional strength and rigidity are required.
Can this PTFE filled sheet be machined on standard CNC equipment?
Yes, the sheet is suitable for machining using standard CNC milling, turning and drilling equipment with appropriate tooling for engineering plastics. Use sharp tools, controlled feed rates and adequate workpiece support to maintain tolerances and achieve a high-quality surface finish.
Is this material resistant to common industrial chemicals and lubricants?
The PTFE filled natural sheet offers good resistance to many oils, lubricants and process chemicals typically encountered in mechanical and industrial environments. However, performance can vary depending on concentration, temperature and exposure time, so individual chemical compatibility should be checked for critical applications.
