General Info
PolyTetraFluoroEthylene is a fluorocarbon-based polymer and is commonly abbreviated PTFE. This grade is pigmented with a blue FDA compliant pigment for visual detection and engineered for food and pharmaceutical applications.
It offers outstanding chemical resistance, a wide operating temperature range from cryogenic to 500F, resistance to weathering, high impact strength, low friction, electrical and thermal insulation, and self-lubricating properties. Ideal for bearing and wear applications requiring visual detectability and low friction.
