PTFE is High molecular weight polymer composed by Carbon and Fluorine based on the polymeric chain -CF2=CF2-. This material is a soft, low friction fluoropolymer with outstanding chemical resistance and weathering resistance.
Mechanical
properties can be improved by adding fillers such as glass fibers,
bronze, carbon, and graphite. PTFE Politef is one of the most versatile
plastic materials known and can be used for applications where other
materials can't be used. The compressive strength at a certain
predetermined compression value is one of the most significant
mechanical characteristics of PTFE Politef, in a wide range of service
temperatures.
Its
mechanical properties are low compared to other engineering plastics,
but its properties remain at a useful level over a great temperature
range (-400° to 500° F).
Notes: Below 1/4" thickness are skived and could be warped/ Wavy and sheet will be rolled and boxed for shipment .
Cut tolerance +0" -.25"
