FAQ

What Are The Main Applications Of PTFE Discs?

PTFE discs are widely used in laboratory glassware, chemical processing equipment, and industrial piping systems. They are also applied in shock absorbers, agriculture, food and beverage, robotics, maintenance, injection presses, presses, and pneumatics.

What Are The Key Features Of PTFE Discs?

PTFE discs combine the properties of PTFE and rubber, offering excellent chemical resistance, low friction, heat resistance, and good compression set. They also feature a low coefficient of friction, excellent chemical inertness, a non-adhesive surface, a wide temperature range (-200°C to +260°C), and excellent dielectric properties.

How Do PTFE Discs Work In Sealing Applications?

PTFE O-ring seals, which have a circular cross-section, achieve sealing through their elastic properties and preload. When placed between connected parts, the O-ring fills the sealing gap and forms a sealing interface due to its elasticity. External stress ensures the O-ring maintains sealing interface stability, preventing liquid or gas leakage.

What Are The Advantages Of Using PTFE Discs?

PTFE discs offer numerous advantages, including chemical resistance, temperature resistance, versatility, non-corrosive properties, electrical and thermal insulation, and easy availability. These properties make them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Why Are PTFE Discs Preferred In High-temperature Environments?

PTFE discs can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -200°C to +260°C, making them ideal for high-temperature environments. Their heat resistance ensures they maintain their properties and performance even under such conditions.

Are PTFE Discs Resistant To Chemicals?

Yes, PTFE discs are highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for use in harsh chemical environments. Their excellent chemical inertness ensures they do not react with most substances.

What Makes PTFE Discs Non-stick?

PTFE discs have a non-adhesive surface due to the inherent properties of PTFE, which prevent materials from sticking to them. This makes them ideal for applications where easy cleaning and minimal contamination are required.

Can PTFE Discs Be Used In Electrical Applications?

Yes, PTFE discs have excellent dielectric properties, making them suitable for electrical insulation applications. They provide great electrical insulation and are often used in electrical and electronic components.

How Do PTFE Discs Perform In Low-temperature Environments?

PTFE discs can perform reliably in low-temperature environments, as they can withstand temperatures as low as -200°C. Their properties remain stable, ensuring consistent performance even in extreme cold.

Are PTFE Discs Customizable For Specific Applications?

Yes, PTFE discs can be customized in terms of size, shape, and other specifications to meet the requirements of specific applications. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial and laboratory uses.
