PTFE O-Rings
PTFE O-Rings (also called Polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon), it is 100% virgin PTFE material,PTFE o-rings are known for high heat resistance, high resistance to chemical agents and solvents, anti-adhesiveness, dielectric properties, low friction coefficient, and non-toxicity.
DESCRIPTION:
FeiteSeal G180 PTFE O-Rings
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high molecular weight polymer, one of the most versatile plastic materials known and useful for a large range of products for applications excluded to other materials. PTFE o-rings are known for high heat resistance, high resistance to chemical agents and solvents, anti-adhesiveness, dielectric properties, low friction coefficient, and non-toxicity.PTFE is a popular O-Ring material which is White in color.
The tensile and compressive properties are to a large degree influenced by the working processes and the polymer used. PTFE, however, can be used continuously at temperatures up to 260°C (500°F), while possessing still a certain compressive plasticity at temperatures near to the absolute zero.
PTFE O-rings are resistant to most chemicals including acids, bases, oils, steam and other chemicals. It is also very tough and abrasive resistant. Its outstanding tear resistance and abrasive resistance result in its slippery surface properties that make it advantageous for use in seals in moving systems such as mass spectrometer probes and valves.
