ptfe seal ring

PTFE seal rings are essential components in industries requiring superior chemical resistance and reliable performance under extreme conditions. Our product line includes:

  • Custom PTFE Parts: Precision-manufactured for specific applications in semiconductor and laboratory settings
  • PTFE Flower Baskets: High-purity designs for sensitive cleaning processes in wafer production
  • PTFE Containers: Chemically inert solutions for medical and industrial storage needs

These products are widely used in hydraulic systems, pharmaceutical processing, food production, and turbine engineering where traditional seals would fail.


Premium PTFE Seal Rings: Engineered for Extreme Performance

Unmatched Material Properties

Our PTFE seal rings combine polytetrafluoroethylene's legendary chemical resistance with precision engineering. The unique composition features:

  • Metal Spring Core: Provides constant pre-tightening force for reliable sealing
  • PTFE Encapsulation: Creates an impervious barrier against even the most aggressive chemicals
  • Temperature Resilience: Performs consistently from -73°C to 204°C (-100°F to 400°F)

Advanced Engineering Principles

The sealing mechanism operates through:

  1. Spring-Loaded Compression: The internal metal spring maintains optimal contact pressure
  2. Self-Lubricating Surface: PTFE's natural slickness reduces friction by up to 85%
  3. Conformable Design: Compensates for surface imperfections up to 0.005"

Industry-Leading Advantages

  • Chemical Immunity: Resists virtually all acids, bases, and solvents including HF and aqua regia
  • Non-Stick Performance: Prevents buildup that compromises seal integrity
  • FDA-Compliant: Safe for food, pharmaceutical, and medical applications
  • Long Service Life: Outlasts conventional seals by 3-5x in most applications

Custom Solutions for Specialized Needs

Our engineering team can develop:

  • Size Variations: From miniature 0.5mm seals to large 24" diameter rings
  • Material Blends: PTFE compounds with fillers like glass or graphite for enhanced properties
  • Special Profiles: U-cups, V-rings, and custom geometries for unique applications

Proven Applications

  • Semiconductor: Wafer processing equipment, CVD chambers

FAQ

What Are The Common Applications Of PTFE Seal Rings?

PTFE seal rings are commonly used in applications requiring good sliding properties, wide temperature ranges, and high chemical resistance. These include hydraulic/pneumatic seals, rod seals, scrapers, piston seals, chemical/pharmaceutical industries, turbine construction, hydroelectric plants, and food production. They are also used in liners for engineering, non-stick equipment, medical applications, rainwear, and as lubricants in machinery.

What Are The Features Of A Spring PTFE Sealing Ring?

A spring PTFE sealing ring consists of a metal spring covered with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The PTFE provides the sealing surface, while the spring provides the pre-tightening force. PTFE O-rings are white, offer high chemical resistance, and can operate in a wide temperature range from -73°C to 204°C. They also provide weathering resistance, low friction, electrical and thermal insulation, and a slippery surface.

How Does A PTFE Lined Butterfly Valve Operate?

A PTFE lined butterfly valve operates on the quick shut off principle. It features a circular disc (butterfly) placed in the center of the pipe, with a rod connected to an actuator on the outer side of the valve. By rotating the metal disc using a handwheel, the disc can be positioned parallel or perpendicular to the flow, thereby allowing or closing the flow.

What Are The Advantages Of Mechanical Seals With PTFE Rings?

Mechanical seals with PTFE rings offer several advantages, including resistance to most chemicals, low friction (which reduces wear and improves efficiency), suitability for a wide temperature range, formation of a lubricating film (extending seal life), non-stick properties (preventing residue buildup), and flexibility (compensating for surface imperfections).

Why Is PTFE Used In Medical Applications?

PTFE is used in medical applications, such as catheters, due to its ability to prevent bacterial growth. Its non-stick and chemical-resistant properties make it ideal for medical devices that require sterility and durability.
