PTFE Seals

PTFE, or poly tetra fluoro ethylene, is a synthetic polymer made up of carbon and fluorine.

It has unique properties such as a high melting point, resistance to water, chemical inertness, low coefficient of friction, and high flexural strength. It is also known by its brand names of Teflon, Fluon, Dyneon and Daikin-Polyflon.

Teflon is known for the non-reactive and non-ageing properties. This is because they can withstand temperatures from –240°C to +260°C. This makes Teflon suitable for most industrial corrosive chemicals and solvents.

Teflon is used for a range of valve seats and shaft bush’s including 2pc & 3pc Ball Valves, L & T Port Valves, Piston Check Valves, Needle Valves and Threaded Sampling Valves.

Blue Monster Thread Sealing Tape is also 99.6% PTFE and Mill-Rose PTFE Nickel Anti Seize Tape is 90% PTFE for use with Threaded Stainless steel fittings.
