Where can you find PTFE use?

Fluorinated thermoplastics are only used for high performance applications related to high heat, low temperature, chemical inertness, high purity, non-sticking and self-lubricating properties. Further high purity grades are used in semiconductor, pharmaceutical and other similar sectors. Due to its special chemical and physical properties, PTFE are widely applied in the chemical, electrical/electronic, construction, architectural, and automotive industries. Filled granular resins were found to be suitable for parts such as gaskets, shaft seals, bearing, piston rings etc.

Overview

Key Applications

Automotive – O-rings, gaskets, valve stem seals, shaft seals, linings for fuel hoses, power steering and transmission etc.

Chemical Industry – Coatings for heat exchangers, pumps, diaphragms, impellers, tanks, reaction vessels, autoclaves, containers etc.

Electrical & Electronics – Electrical insulation, flexible printed circuit boards, semiconductor parts.

Engineering – Seats and plugs, bearing, non-stick surfaces, coatings for pipes, fittings, valve and pump parts.

Medical – Cardiovascular grafts, ligament replacement, heart patches.
