Virgin PTFE (can be supplied as Full Sheet, Custom Cut Sheet, flange gaskets, Ring gaskets, Custom Gaskets, rubber strips, Blocks, washers)
Virgin PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) gasket material is a type of gasket made from pure, unfilled PTFE resin. PTFE is a synthetic fluoropolymer that exhibits remarkable chemical resistance, low friction, and high-temperature resistance, making it an ideal choice for sealing applications in various industries.
Here are some key details about virgin PTFE gasket material:
Chemical Resistance: Virgin PTFE is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, and hydrocarbons. This resistance makes it suitable for use in chemical processing, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Temperature Resistance: PTFE can withstand temperatures ranging from -180°C to 260°C continuously. This makes it suitable for applications where extreme temperatures are encountered, such as in cryogenic applications or high-temperature processes.
Low Friction: PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction among solid materials, which means it provides excellent non-stick properties. This low friction makes it useful for applications involving sliding or rotational movements, such as seals and bearings.
Electrical Insulation: PTFE is an excellent electrical insulator, even at high temperatures. This property makes it suitable for use in electrical applications where insulation is required, such as in cable insulation and electronic components.
Compliance: Virgin PTFE gasket material typically complies with various industry standards and certifications, such as FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval for food-contact applications and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for specific mechanical properties.
Sealing Performance: Virgin PTFE gaskets provide a reliable seal, even in demanding conditions such as high pressures and temperatures. They are used in flange connections, piping systems, and other applications where leak prevention is critical.
Overall, virgin PTFE gasket material offers exceptional performance in terms of chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and sealing properties, making it a preferred choice for demanding industrial applications where reliability and longevity are essential.
