O Ring with Low Temperature Capability in Brown PTFE Ring Gaskets

PTFE parts

PolyTetraFluoroEthylene is a fluorocarbon-based polymer and is commonly abbreviated PTFE.

It offers high chemical resistance, low and high temperature capability, resistance to weathering, low friction, electrical and thermal insulation.

PTFE's mechanical properties are low compared to other plastics

but its mechanical properties can be enhanced by adding fillers such as glass fibers, carbon, graphite, molybdenum disulphide, and bronze.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) sealing products are recommended for use in many industrial applications. These include:

1. Food Processing (FDA Seals)
2. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
3. Engineering and Manufacturing Process
4. Chemical Processing

In comparison to standard sealing solutions, PTFE seals can present further distinctive features. The most important of these features is low friction at high pressures, however, when designing longlasting and dependable sealing systems other important factors to take under consideration are high abrasion resistance, extreme chemical compatibility, and low stick-slip.
