As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Sanitizing Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sheet [X]
Acrylic and Polycarbonate Sneeze Guards and like products require special care while cleaning and disinfecting. To maintain the optical clarity of sneeze guards and other acrylic or polycarbonate items, use an acrylic or polycarbonate safe cleaner like Novus Plastic Polish #1, Brillianize Plastic Cleaner, or a mild soap solution.
Please reference the following compatible cleaners when DISINFECTING acrylic and polycarbonate items. The use of commonly available commercial alcohol or ammonia-based disinfectants may cause crazing and damage.
High-Performance PTFE for High Heat & Chemical Resistance
Virgin Extruded PTFE sheet is a high-performance fluoropolymer designed for applications requiring exceptional resistance to high temperatures and corrosive chemicals. PTFE is also the polymer chemistry used in products sold under well-known brands such as Teflon™1
PTFE combines exceptional thermal resilience, reliable electrical insulation, and one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any engineering plastic. Its soft, conformable nature also makes it highly effective for seals, gaskets, shims, and other chemically resistant components. It is a popular choice for challenging environments where standard engineering plastics may fail.
Need PTFE in greater thicknesses? Explore our Molded PTFE Sheet. For improved stiffness and resistance to deformation under load, consider Glass-Filled PTFE Rod.

Why Choose Virgin Extruded PTFE?
This extruded grade combines chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and low friction for demanding mechanical and electrical components. It is the correct choice if you need:
High Heat Resistance:
Has a maximum continuous service temperature of up to approximately 500°F (260°C), outperforming standard engineering thermoplastics.
Chemical Resistance:
Highly resistant to corrosion, acids, and harsh chemicals, making it suitable for scientific and semiconductor equipment.
Low Friction & Release:
Provides a naturally low-friction, non-stick surface for seals, guides, release surfaces, and lightly loaded sliding components.
Electrical Insulation:
Excellent dielectric properties for use in insulating barriers, spacers, and connector insulators.
Conformability:
Soft enough to conform to mating surfaces under pressure in gasket and valve seat applications.
Extruded vs. Molded PTFE: Which Do You Need?
While both materials share the same core fluoropolymer properties, their manufacturing processes make them suitable for different form factors.
Choose Extruded PTFE (This Sheet) when your application requires PTFE sheet in a thickness from 0.030" through 0.187". It is well suited for gaskets, seals, shims, electrical insulation, and chemically resistant liners.
Choose Molded PTFE when your project requires sheet thicker than 0.187" or heavier stock for machined components.
Fabrication & Machining
Virgin PTFE is soft and highly formable, allowing it to be easily cut and shaped for chemically resistant seals, gaskets, and shims. Due to its softness and tendency to yield under heavy pressure, careful fixturing is recommended during precision machining to avoid deformation.

Technical Performance
Virgin Extruded PTFE is engineered for specialized applications requiring a unique combination of extreme thermal resilience, chemical resistance, and a low friction coefficient.
While Virgin Extruded PTFE excels in high heat and corrosive environments, its physical softness means it is not suited for all structural applications:
Structural Rigidity: Virgin PTFE is soft and can creep or cold flow under sustained mechanical loads, making it difficult to maintain close dimensional tolerances. Better Alternative: For improved stiffness and resistance to deformation while retaining many of PTFE's core properties, consider Glass-Filled PTFE Rod.
Demanding Bearing Service: Virgin PTFE provides very low friction but may wear too quickly in heavily loaded or higher-speed sliding applications. Better Alternative: For demanding bearings and wear components requiring greater mechanical strength, consider a suitable bearing-grade PEEK or Cast Nylon (for lower temperature applications).
Thickness Availability: This extruded PTFE sheet is offered in thicknesses from 0.030" through 0.187". Better Alternative: For thicknesses above 0.187", choose Molded PTFE Sheet.
