PTFE Gasket

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applicationsPTFE can be modified for use as a gasket material with strong chemical resistance properties.

Our facility accommodates the custom manufacturing of single prototype PTFE gaskets or large scale production runs manufactured from your blueprint or reversed engineered from a sample part.  Depending on the type of PTFE material, we can cut between .015" - .50" thick.

PTFE Gasket, Seal & Washer Applications
PTFE provides excellent thermal insulation and is the most chemically resistant plastic known.  It is unaffected by most corrosive liquids, vapors and gases, and conforms to both FDA and AMS specifications.  PTFE will insulate to 500 volts per mil and does not melt.  Because of these properties, PTFE gaskets, washers and seals are used in the following industries:

Electrical Applications
Food, Beverage & Pharmaceutical
Laboratories
Petrochemical & Chemical Processing
Semi-Conductor
PTFE Gasket, Seal & Washer Material 
PTFE resin performs well in many applications without fillers i.e. in its "virgin" state.  In fact, fillers can lessen its outstanding electrical and chemical properties.  In mechanical applications, however, compounds of PTFE and inorganic fillers offer imporved wear resistance, reduce creep and initial deformation, and increaed stiffness and condcutivity.  Hardness is increased, and the coefficient of thermal expansions is decreased. Compounds can therefore make it possible to gain the advantages in applicaitons where the unfilled resin cannot be used.
