What is PTFE?

PTFE is a low friction, soft fluoropolymer mechanical plastic with exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, corrosion, and stress cracking.

PTFE features impressive heat, mechanical toughness, electrical and low friction properties, making it the material of choice for many high heat and low friction applications.

PTFE plastic is available in FDA approved, electrical, mechanical, glass-filled, and bearing grades.
