FAQ
What Are The Main Applications Of Custom PTFE Products?
Custom PTFE products are widely used in aerospace and computer wiring due to their excellent dielectric properties. In industrial settings, they are used for low friction parts like bearings and gears. In the medical field, PTFE is used for grafts, catheter coatings, and medical-grade components. The semiconductor industry utilizes PTFE for its resistance to strong acids. Additionally, PTFE is used in chemical processing equipment and as coatings for pipes carrying corrosive chemicals.
What Are The Key Features Of PTFE That Make It Suitable For These Applications?
PTFE has a high melting point of around 347 °C, high resistance to water, and a very low coefficient of friction. It remains flexible even at low temperatures. These properties make it ideal for applications requiring chemical resistance, low friction, and durability, such as wire insulation, surface coatings, and chemical processing equipment.
How Is PTFE Processed Into Custom Parts?
PTFE resin does not flow when melted, so it cannot be injection molded. The best methods for processing PTFE are molding and machining, which allow for the creation of custom parts with precise dimensions and properties.
What Are The Advantages Of Using PTFE Gaskets?
PTFE gaskets offer excellent sealing performance, low friction, and high-temperature resistance. They are also resistant to wear, fatigue, and chemical corrosion. Additionally, PTFE gaskets have anti-adhesion properties, are electrically insulating, and are easy to install and maintain.
Why Is PTFE Preferred In The Medical And Food Industries?
PTFE is preferred in the medical and food industries because it is non-toxic, complies with FDA regulations, and has excellent chemical and friction resistance. Its food-grade approval and ease of cleaning make it ideal for applications requiring high hygiene standards.
What Types Of Custom PTFE Products Are Available?
Custom PTFE products include scrapers, shovels, cleaning racks, evaporating dishes, flower baskets, tweezers, containers, three-neck flasks, and bottles. These products are customizable in size and design to meet specific industrial, laboratory, and medical needs.
