Product catalog summary
Introduction to Expanded PTFE
Expanded PTFE is manufactured from 100% PTFE and is developed through a specific treatment on the fluorocarbon in PTFE. It is available as rectangular profiles with adhesive backing and sheets, offering high tensile stress, flexibility, low hardness, and resistance to chemicals and temperature, making it ideal for sealing gaskets in extreme conditions.
Advantages
  • Time-Saving: Easy to mount, auto-adhesive, easy to cut and trim, non-adherent, absorbs surface irregularities, and highly compressible.
  • Durability: Resists compression flow, no tearing, withstands up to 210 Kg/cm² pressure, operates in temperatures from -265 ºC to +315 ºC, inert to corrosive chemicals, no expiry date, and does not contaminate.
  • Cost-Effective: No waste, no time lost cutting gaskets, no maintenance required once installed, no need for large stocks, and excellent performance.
Applications
Expanded PTFE is used in seals for smoke and gas ducts, lids and manholes, glass installations in the fine chemical industry, heat exchangers, fiberglass reinforced tanks, pumps, vapor, entry lids, ceramics, hydraulic, pneumatic, and water systems.
Assembly Instructions
  1. Clean the rim, removing all impurities from the surface where it will be applied.
  2. Remove the protective paper from the adhesive backing and position the profile in the middle of the seal surface to form a flat gasket shape.
  3. Overlap the profile near a bolt hole by 1 to 2 cm in the same direction as the bolting sense.
  4. Bolt up the surfaces; the compressed profile width is equal to 1.5 times its original width. In glass installations, do not overlap the profile to avoid breaking the glass during compression.
Product Availability
Expanded PTFE sheets are available in 1.5, 2, and 3 mm thicknesses, with a wide range of profiles in stock.

PTFE-1

PTFE Expanded PTFE Manufactured from 100% PTFE and developed through a specific treatment on the fluorocarbon in PTFE, it is supplied as rectangular profiles with adhesive backing (for ease of placement) and sheets. It obtains a high tensile stress, flexibility, low hardness, chemical and thermal resistance, making it an excellent material for sealing gaskets in extreme working conditions. Advantages of using expanded PTFE Save time: Expanded PTFE is easy to mount, auto-adhesive, easy to cut excess or trim edges, non-adherent so there is no need of scraping during maintenance, absorbs surface irregularities, highly compressible. Long lasting: 100% PTFE, resists compression flow and has no tear, no effort 2 needed during mounting, resists up to 210 Kg/cm temperatures from -265 ºC to +315 ºC, practically inert to all corrosive chemicals, no expiry date, does not contaminate. Savings: with expanded PTFE there is no waste, no time lost cutting gaskets, no maintenance once installed, no need of large stocks, no space occupied, ecellent performance, ever lasting. .
